Ever wanted to see an act and say "you were there when they started?". Then think about taking in this double act of sketch comedy before the end of the Fringe.

Just how many rhymes can be made with "-ong"? Well, this slightly odd theme was the basis of the daft, catchy song that kicked off the proceedings here, immediately filling the room with laughter. A multitude of wacky situations and musical sketches then ensued, with an almost non-stop pace for the whole show. Both performers shared centre stage, but Dan Carter-Hope's musical prowess and hilarious facial expressions made him a clear favourite for me. On occasion things did drag a little, but luckily there were plenty of hilarious moments to pick up any slack. Overall, the songs were strong, some of the jokes a little wrong, and I still can't get Dan's face out of my head. Simply great Fringe comedy. Olly Hunt

| Packed with energy, this comedy duo were easy to watch and had some of the audience in hysterics. Strong (the tall and confident Anna-Maria Nabirye), and equally exuberant Wrong (Dan Carter-Hope "Keanu Reeves crossed with a dirty tramp") have a huge array of accents, songs and sketches, which at best are bizarre, ridiculous and hilarious (one highlight being a song about a man who speaks to dead animals). They tackled the big issues: sexism, relationships and racism with irrepressible silliness, and the result was a non-confrontational hour of escapist, intelligent nonsense. Studenty, experimental and at times very funny and original; a well-rounded show. Rachel Pegg
