With little research done into the show, when I first heard of Vinegar Knickers I thought of some outlandish, crazy, purposefully over-the-top show; which is exactly what I got. What I did not expect was how amazingly well this would be done and how much I would be laughing out loud. Performing various skits, loosely based around a launderette, the girls carry out the perfect mix of kookiness, craziness and raw bacon. Breaking out into dance, rap or pseudo-Danish there’s nothing Harriet, Sam and Katie can’t make absolutely side-splittingly funny. Each character is hilarious, each skit perfectly written and every joke entertaining. The best bit of silliness I’ve seen in a long time.
Just the Tonic At The Caves, 3 – 26 Aug, 2.40pm.
