WitTank have been entertaining audiences at the Fringe since 2006, and yet again this young trio have produced a revue overflowing with originality, fun and, of course, wit. With recurring characters that are utilised to the perfect degree without becoming repetitious, and sketches that excel without cheap crudity, this show demonstrates why the critically acclaimed WitTank team fully deserve their place as an established and popular revue group each year at the Fringe. With Naz Osmanoglu’s wonderfully dark and sinister characters, Mark Cooper Jones’ charming physical comedy and Kieran Boyd’s glorious feminine innocence, this trio complement each other superbly and have an irrepressibly good time on stage, letting the audience in on their world of inventive, energetic creativity.
Just The Tonic at The Caves, 4 – 28 Aug (not 17), 6.15pm (7.15pm), £7.50 – £8.50, fpp165.
