Female comediennes Ingrid Oliver and Lorna
Watson are Festival favourites, returning for their third year after two years
of sell out shows. Playing to a full house, they once again managed to
entertain the crowd with a brand of humour suitable for the
whole family.

Watson and Oliver have been making their name through comedy shows
like Peep Show and The IT Crowd, and it was easy enough to become engrossed in their
sketch world. Especially as you never really knew where the sketch would take
you, except that there would always be something that made you laugh.

Something of a distraction was the air
conditioning machine in the corner of the room, which could make things hard
to hear, and I missed some of the jokes because of it.

Overall, this was another piece of well written comedy. Although some sketches failed to hit the funny bone as much as
others, their tightly written sketches and likeable personalities still shone
through.

A perfect night out for the whole family,
young and old.
