The Kagools : Kula, The Caves, Edinburgh Fringe

Classic silent comedy.  Clad in their eponymous garments, Claire Ford and Nicky Wilkinson bring their own brand of family-friendly silliness.  There's a plot of sorts, involving their evil alter egos, but that's just a loose framework for a series of physical comedy gags, audience involvement and constant action.  Parts of the story are played out on film, with the interaction, and impressive timing, between screen and on stage antics being key elements in the farce and slapstick that pervades the show.  Plus there's a soundtrack that is also an important element in the entertainment.

You might end up slightly damp, you might end up on stage, or accused of murder, but you will laugh a lot, you will laugh so much it hurts.  If you like a bit of daftness and anarchy in your life this is as good as it gets, especially the Tina Turner dancing routine.

Highly recommended.

The Kagools are in The Caves at 16.30 until 26 August.
