Stu and Garry, The Stand

A return to the free Sunday lunchtime show and a chance to watch these masters of improv comedy once again.  The format was basically as described in my review from earlier this year, although the second half was entirely given over to short sketches based on scenario ideas the audience had written down on scraps of paper during the interval.

The results were just a hilarious as last time, and indeed every time we've seen this pair doing their thing.  Watching one man try to make the other say the words "fox fur corset" without saying them himself was worth the non-existent entrance price on it's own.  The second half sketches, lacking the usual game structure, were more hit and miss, but even the relative duffers offered a couple of cracking laughs, with Garry in groan inducing pun mode.  He's also wont to throw in some clever asides that you have to be quick, and reasonably knowledgeable, to pick up.  So I'm sure I missed out on a few....

Still a fantastic way to spend a Sunday afternoon, with two of the funniest men in the country.
