To clarify, these ladies do not have facial hair. However, they do claim to push the boundaries of gender. They say they are ‘just funny. Period.’ By this they mean do not expect the usual topics that we might hear from female acts.
From the instant these two begin, their knack for observational comedy and spot on impersonations is clear. Their sketches are fresh perspectives on the most day-to-day of scenarios, giving excellent comedic twists with genuinely funny one-liners, genius accents and hilarious facial expressions. The duo don’t shy away from involving the element of the ridiculous in their show with great success. Equally however, they have every confidence to keep their sketches simple relying on witty dialogue and convincing characters.
What confirms their comedic ability and surprises any audience is that their show is predominantly improvised, which we all know can fall flat on its face. These girls don’t miss a beat - it’s almost as if they have telepathic skills. Even when one has clearly tickled the other, their enjoyment just make it even more of a pleasure to watch. At one point the pair ‘come out of character’ to argue over certain choices the other has made. Watching their ‘breakdown’ is every bit as funny as the other sketches. They have nailed the art of improvisation, understanding the importance of instant changes too. The audience are never waiting around for the next bit to start, it’s immediate entertainment.
I was dead set on dishing out five stars, but then something happened. Considering how much was improvised, and how telepathic they seem to be, they should have judged their audience better and decided to scrap their finale. There was no need for the weird puppet sex show with the cameo from the freakishly lifelike dildo. Three full rows of ladies 50 plus looked on in stunned silence as it went on for an unnecessary amount of time. I had to watch awkwardly sandwiched between two old men. It took some of the quality out of the show and looked like a desperate attempt to ‘push boundaries’ and not be typecast as a female comedy act. That aside, I still highly recommend that you go see them in action.
