Synopsis
It's a film noir parody in the signature style of previous hits 'Cyranose' and 'Sherlock Holmes and the Saline Solution': song, silliness and sex... ual innuendo! 'The panache and wit of the best British comedy writers of the 20th century' ***** (Edinburgh Evening News). 'From start to finish, the trio had the audience in stitches' ***** (ThreeWeeks). 'The manic energy of The Marx Brothers: truly modern vaudevillians at the height of their powers' ***** (FringeReview.co.uk). 'It's impossible to convey in words what an infectiously riotous piece of nonsense this is, just go see it' **** (Chortle.co.uk).
Our Review:
Andrew Girvan - 31 August 2010
Establishing enthusiastic farce from the off, Los Angeles based Sound & Fury deliver their film noir detective spoof with impressive pace. Although not every gag was necessarily laugh out loud funny, this was an hour packed with plenty of giggles.
Getting suitable millage and innuendo from the now dated interpretation of the word dick to be slang for detective, the trio tackled the script in a slightly shambolic style, but the comedy in both the script and the evening's ad-libs was evident.
The highlight of the show may well have been a supposed minister delivering a reading from a steamy romance novel instead of the bible, which engaged the audience to the stage that they were willing to participate and supply suitable sound effects.
A Punch and Judy routine acted out with sports trophies was also an entertaining addition to the frantic running around and comic cross dressing which filled much of the rest of the show. I found myself disappointed by the music...
