Diane Spencer bursts onto the stage and within seconds stuns the audience into shocked silence with her new show Exquisite Bad Taste. To be honest that is exactly what this show is, with added glitter and special effects.
Diane spends the hour spinning a web of slightly sick but always hilarious stories, each an instance in which her bad taste has got her into sticky social situations over the years. We are taken through a ménage of bad fancy dress choices, tales of unusual sexual encounters - always instigated by Diane - and are even introduced to alter ego, 'drunk Di.' Although most stories are likely to make audience members, young and old alike, cringe and squirm in their seats, they are all pulled off with such charm that it doesn't really matter.
The show as a whole is well crafted and without a dull moment; stories are masterfully interwoven and witticisms are sprinkled throughout. If anything is to be taken away from this wholeheartedly light and funny show, it is that Diane is slightly unhinged - in a good way - and really does have exquisite bad taste.
