Oooof. We kick off with a five-star review for our show in progress of The Never Man down in lovely Brighton. This is both wonderful and rather terrifying. Anything less would now be a crushing disappointment.
A show in the rough preparing for its Edinburgh premiere has no right to be this entertaining. This award-winning sketch group moved into the single linear story format last year successfully, and this year have stepped into the 21st century after previously being known for their Victorian settings. Favourite old themes are there, like global conspiracies, physical comedy and a plethora of characters to be played by the three performers, most notable of these being the comedic 8 3/4 year-old boy Paul as played by 6′ 6″ Humphrey Ker. The boys are on terrific form, delivering an excellent show and promise of fantastic heights at Edinburgh.
Upstairs at 3 and 10,

(Trivia fans: Humphrey actually stands at 6’7″ but he was only playing a small boy and that’s how good an actor he is)
