Review: Sketchatron: Nano

Sketchatron: Nano

www.sketchatron.co.uk

Like a comedy pick ’n’ mix, ‘Sketchatron: Nano’ trawls the Fringe to bring showcases of the best sketch troupes, choosing a different selection every week, which on this occasion included the experienced Fringe returnees, The Penny Dreadfuls, and award-winning ‘Clever Peter’. The groups that I saw ranged from above average to excellent, providing fast-paced, witty skits of various styles, subjects and hilarity. However, the nature of the showcase-style performance provides a chance for the best talent to win over the audience with their quick-witted improvisation, despite the occasional technological hiccups. It’s worth a visit, if for no other reason than to have a laugh and discover some Fringe shows that you might also enjoy.
