Parris And Dowler Know What They’re Doing (Parris And Dowler)
By Miranda Cannibal | Published on Friday 10 August 2012
The show starts with a song repeating the lines “Paris and Dowler know what they’re doing” to the same four notes, and this kind of demonstrates how the show will go: Paris and Dowler are an impressionist and a musical comedian respectively, with the show divided between them, and while the impressions are good, they do get rather tiresome because of a build up of repetition, plus the songs are hit and miss. The saving grace is when the two get together, because there’s a good chemistry between them; they work well, bouncing off one another to produce a decent act. Overall it’s a good performance, but one which would benefit from less repetition, and more interaction between the two acts.
