Comedy review: Bad Aunts, Gilded Balloon Tollbooth, Edinburgh

But, administrative errors aside, I have no idea what they are doing in the comedy section.

This appears to be a three hander play with chinks in the fourth wall through which escapes some sphincter-puckering audience participation. It is not remotely funny other than in the “peculiar” sense and, as theatre, resembles three prototype sitcom characters simply trapped on a stage.

For this relief, much thanks.

Until 25 August
