Scottie Road – The Musical tells the story of pasty eating, pyjama wearing Scouse scallies, Caz 'n' Britney, who following an unfortunate incident in Primark with a £1.00 ring and a girl called Shaz, end up in prison. What follows are two hours of laughter, madness and a good selection of West End hits modified the Caz 'n' Britney way.

Gillian Hardie and Keddy Sutton are the geneses behind these lovable rogues. Having worked together since 2008, these characters have just got bigger and better, and have created quite a following. As soon as these two walk onto Unity 2 stage, the audience instantly cheer, and the evening flies by, with Sutton and Hardie frequently having to stop to let the cheering and clapping die down before returning to the script. It is clear that the pair are very comfortable working together, often going off script and including the audience as much as possible.

As well as talented comic writers and performers, their vocal ability also shines. It seems that nothing can faze the duo and in some parts of their act put me in mind of a young Eric and Ernie with their easy way with the audience and their comic timing. They are definitely an act to watch out for and easily the funniest women on the circuit.

Scottie Road – The Musical continues at the Unity Theatre, Liverpool until 18 January.
