Will & Greg – A Sketch Show

2008

Being greeted by two comedians pedalling madly on stationery cycles while the audience files in is unusual, even by the wacky standards of the Fringe. And unusual Will and Greg certainly are, which is quite a feat given the ubiquity of comedy at festival time. What very possibly sets them apart is the uncomplicated nature of what they do, but delivered with such confidence and finesse that their absurd comedy rarely misses the mark.
Will and Greg are blessed as comedians for they possess two very necessary attributes required for comedy–likeability and a fearlessness of the surreal. Their hour long show is peopled by a wide range of personalities,from the suicidal real estate agent to a mutant half man, half pen (you had to be there), played with aplomb by the indefatigable duo. Armed with the very minimum of props, the pair seamlessly transition between each sketch with the aid of a television that signals the end of each sketch. The two share an easy rapport and rarely miss a beat, and each sketch is sharply played by these impressive performers with impeccable timing. Their own enjoyment is palpable and infectious and inject extra zest to what is already an hour of wonderfully observed and gratifyingly hilarious comedy.

4/5
