PAPPY'S FUN CLUB - * * *

If you like your comedy light, frothy and supremely daft, these bright-eyed boys are experts. Knowingly absurd, in that very British style, these four present a show that pairs clever, witty sketches with brilliant clowning. Frenetic and wonderfully tight, highlights include a Bob Dylan sketch, an impressive skit about the rivalry between the words left and right and a send-up of rubbish pranksters. Each section plays to the various strengths of Tom Parry, Matthew Crosby, Ben Clark and Brendan Dodds and it's evident that as ramshackle as the piece occasionally seems, there's real joy in their work. If you're looking for something a little more weighty this show may grate but, for farcical giggles, it's good old-fashioned fun.
