Bob and Jim – Two Stars

If you are bored of current TV comedians or just want a bit of old school classic comedy then here is a show for you. Bob and Jim are a hilarious duo that I just wish more people could have seen! They stood on an empty stage with just a ukulele and a bundle of funny witty stories. They told us about how they wished their show could have been, sequins and all, but settled on telling us their life story. This included some clichéd, but perfectly rehearsed, songs and even some audience participation. Each was more outlandish then the last, utilising comically skilled acting so the audience were able to visualise it perfectly.

The chemistry between the two men was clear and comfortable. What let the performance down was not what was going on up on stage, but the lack of people in the auditorium. With such limited audience numbers, the dynamics of their show was really handicapped. Given a full house, this duo has the potential to bring a different level of comedy.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
