In the packed venue an announcement hushes the audience and a video projection introduces the trio: the Ginge, the Geordie and the Geek. The music stops and the lights fade up. A performer walks on, turns off the projector and walks off. This is not the most professional start to a show as this is neither made into a joke or acknowledged in any way, however, from this weak point the show turns into a series of short, slick comedy sketches.The comedy in the sketches ranges from one-liners to surreal parodies. One of which is a dirty dancing parody with a slice of pizza, also the finale and highlight of the show. The quality of the comedy varies from flat to very funny. Repetitions of jokes become tiresome at some points, for example, an old Indian chief is used in different situations to provide answers to questions asked in a sketch. This is funny at first but soon becomes predictable.The nature of this fast paced comedy means that if a sketch is not funny, it isn’t not long until the next sketch starts, usually taking a completely different form. The chemistry between Graeme Rooney, Paul Charlton and Kevin O’Loughlin as performers is evident on stage; even when obvious mistakes are made it does not hinder but rather enhances the performance. The wide variety of sketches means it is guaranteed that you will laugh at more than one point in the show, however at times the flat one-liners and repetition may hinder the experience.
