Married At Fringe Sight

 
James Macfarlane Review by James Macfarlane 4 Published: 14 Aug 2024 theSpace @ Surgeons' Hall Show Dates: 3 Aug 2024-24 Aug 2024

For the first time this Fringe, I was in the front row for a comedy show. However insane this may make me sound, I love being in the front row for a comedy show, but as a reviewer, I never want to put anybody off if I’m writing notes. Luckily, Married At Fringe Sight is a show so funny and joyful that I didn’t need to take any notes. Instead, I just got carried away in the magic of it all.

David Ian and Jeremy Topp have a real hit on their hands

After scanning a QR code and filling in some answers to some dating questions, we meet our hosts, and co-founders of The Queer Comedy Club in London, David Ian and Jeremy Topp – both fabulously funny. It’s their task to pair up three sets of couples in the audiences, depending on the answers they gave to the questions they answered (some funny and some completely unhinged). The whole show is an hour of sharp crowd work and many of the audience members picked on were able to volley really well with David and Jeremy. When hosts are good at what they do, an audience feels comfortable and the level of comfort in the room is a testament to the talent of both comics onstage.

Since every audience is different, that means every show is different. All I can say is if MAFS is as good every night as when I saw it, David Ian and Jeremy Topp have a real hit on their hands.
