The mainly Scottish audience were warmly appreciative of the wee funny lassie from the BBC’s Chewin’ the Fat sketch show.
Apart from one accidental lapse into the science mistress from that show, this is a Fat-free zone, as she takes us through an hour of witty observational comedy, from increased bodily noises and pubic hair profusion as she ages, to the delights of the all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet as enjoyed by the Scots. All of this is accompanied by some wonderful expressions on what must be the industry’s most rubber-faced female performer.
For the benefit of any non-Scots thinking of attending, she consciously slows down her delivery so you can understand the patter, and she will even explain the Scottish culinary mystery that is Lorne sausage.
Throw in a few musical moments as she ends by wringing some fine comedy out of current pop lyrics, and then gives us her Miss Shirley Bassey finale, and you have a great slice of tea-time comedy for Scots and Sassenachs alike.
