‘ANFSCI!’ can be seen as nothing more than an act whose title is stolen from ‘Monty Python’. Yet, at times during their one-hour show, these four men genuinely reach the heights of the early Python sketches while still retaining their family-friendly style. With only four men to play several different characters, no real set, and the fact that they’re completely reliant on the audience’s ideas for content, the limitations of their act seem insurmountable. Yet, it is here that this small troupe really shines, when things seem to be going wrong, they’re at their finest. Currently their show is free; I would attend soon as I can’t see it staying so for long.
Laughing Horse @ Meadow Bar, 4 – 28 Aug, 12:15pm (1.15pm), free, fpp32.
