Monsieur Montpellier
Two lads having fun, one dressed as a French decadent the other as his assistant clown, mocking themselves, the audience and everything around them, while creating improvisations which will have you 'roflcopting' throughout. Although a minority of the jokes in this semi-improvised show may be suspiciously taken from other sources, the lads revel in setting up old hackneyed gags just to knock them down with original and hilarious punch-lines. Ridiculing the stereotype of an arrogant music hall-esque multi-performer, Monsieur Montpellier himself inevitably counters the continuous flow of tricks-gone-wrong by succeeding in the most simple prophesies and illusions. The high quality of the performance is clinched by the quick wit and charisma that is evident in the boys' relationship. Great-humoured fun.
Pleasance Dome, 5 - 30 Aug (not 17), 10.00pm (11.00pm), prices vary, fpp 79.
