The Lost and Lonely Rebels – A Sketch Show

Sunday, 7 August, 2005 — filed under: edfest

This is good stuff: almost entirely original jokes and sketch concepts performed well by a trio who are different enough to be comedically compatable. Although I could pick out weaker bits (the three-chair staging at times not quite enough to transform the grim venue), this is a jolly good show of really quite old-fashioned charm.

Extra points are awarded for military hand signals and a radio play of Bulldog Drummond, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the fortune-telling sweetshop-owner on BBC2 sometime soon.

Full disclosure: I know these chaps, to various degrees
