It’s Friday night, the venue is packed to the rafters and the four-piece Cuban Brothers deliver a blistering high-energy, mix of break dancing, body popping and storming musical numbers that is finer than the most expensive Cuban cigar.
The brain child of Edinburgh born Mike Keat, the Cuban Brothers have been wowing crowds since the late 90’s at the Fringe, festivals and award ceremonies. These four men are veterans of the comedy circuit and they clearly love to perform giving their all in a Latino-funk comedy that is knowingly camper than a hand bad full of rainbows.
Keat is a great front man, in his eye-catching glittery cat-suit he tells filthy, playful stories about double penetration and anal sex and uses some hysterical chat up lines on the unsuspecting ladies in the crowd. The comedy is fun but it’s when he begins to sing that he really impresses, launching into a mix of their own rude funky songs and mixing them with straight covers of such hits as ‘Mad Con’s begging you’ which has the crowd frantically dancing along.
The crowd can try their best but they can’t move half as well as these boys, which becomes apparent as they clear a circle on the dance-floor and show off some seriously impressive break dancing, throwing some extraordinary shapes, head spins and freezes.
The Cuban Brothers deliver an outstanding club night that mixes laughs, songs and moves that is so good, Fidel Castro would be proud.
