The Kagools : Tutti, The Caves, Edinburgh Fringe

Shows describing themselves as "suitable for all ages" rarely are, but this is one  that matches up to that description.  Snugly enclosed in their hooded waterproofs, the wordless duo have developed one of the smartest and funniest shows of the Fringe.  Their clowning, miming, well acted physical comedy would work well in almost any country.

Add in a constant stream of inventive silliness, plus clever use of technology, and you have an hour of almost non-stop laughs.  Audience members are cajoled into cooperating with, on this occasion, the 'lifeguard' throwing himself enthusiastically into the part.  There's a fair bit of water involved in the act, metaphorically, literally and on the big screen, the latter providing one of the highlights of the show with a beautifully choreographed swimming routine.  And who doesn't love a unicorn?

Inspired.

The Kagools are in The Caves at 17.15 until 26 August.
