Review : Banterland

Banterland
PBH's Free Fringe
'Banterland' is less a land of Banter and more of a choppy ocean; this may seem like an odd metaphor, but stand up comics Alf Brown, Ben Hudson, Miriam Roe and Chortle Student finalist Nicola Bolsover raise the audience up on waves of good material, but are thrown back into the troughs with a number of awkward silences. Saying this however, they average at a high standard, and conduct the show in an original way, with the three who aren't grasping the mike sat behind the speaker occasionally having input on his/her material. Their actual jokes, while not the most hilarious are entertaining, fresh, fast-paced and original.
The Rat Pack, 8 - 29 Aug, 3.10pm (4.10pm), free, fpp27.
tw rating: 3/5
