Considering that this is a debut Fringe performance for these two upcoming Irish comedians, they do well to pack out the small venue and produce an hour of comedy that as promised, “isn’t shit”. They have very differing comedic styles, but Marcus Olaoire and Lucy Montague-Moffatt are both versatile and have a good grasp of comedic pace and timing. With its rather crude subject matter, this is not a show for families, but for those that like a bit of the inappropriate, this is a show that won’t disappoint. A performance that – though very far from perfect – has great potential and, best of all, doesn’t cost a penny.
Bar 50, 6 – 27 Aug (not 11, 18, 25), 9.30pm (10.30pm), free, fpp162.
