Richard and Matt have built their very own giant computer and want to show us what it can do. What follows is forty-five minutes of riotous comedy with 3D computer games, alien invasions, and water-pistol fights. This is anarchic comedy at its best, often funnier than many of the ‘grown up’ comedy shows on offer. Sensible Richard is brilliant as the one who tries to keep the show on track, while Matt excels as the one who just wants to mess about. Packed with puns and puerile gags, ‘List Operators’ is childish but never patronising; think Dick and Dom but with funny jokes. With the adults laughing and having as much fun as the kids, this is perfect family entertainment.

Pleasance Courtyard, 3 – 21 Aug (not 14), 11.30am (12.15pm), £9.00, fpp24.
