I stole a Creme Egg once. I was 5 years old and thought I had committed a truly awful crime. I now realise, of course, that my so-called ‘crime’ was not hugely significant in the grand scheme of things. This group say they are “on the run for crimes against comedy”, but their ‘crimes’ are not so significant either. The 4-part-male, 1-part-female collective perform an array of short but sweet sketches and songs, all mildly amusing pieces that involve more wigs than an episode of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’. Just like my Creme Egg robbery, the show isn’t quite as great as you might expect, but still definitely worth seeing if you do have some time.
Just The Tonic at The Caves, 21 – 28 Aug, 1.45pm (2.45pm), £5.00, fpp84.
