Ricky and Dave - Gigglelos

Ricky and Dave – Gigglelos is a Free Fringe show and hour of light humour that relaxes you into laughing in a comfortable atmosphere. It might be a comedian’s cliché to insult their audience members, but Ricky and Dave’s insults are excused due to their likeability and ease at engaging with you. You’ll almost find yourself agreeing with their jibes!

A lovely evening of good laughs.

“A fun-filled barrage of jokes and games to keep you entertained” is a slightly misleading claim, as the only game introduced is an improvisation where the audience is introduced to Tinder and a volunteer tries to create conversations on the Tinder account on behalf of the performer. This, unfortunately, leads to more focus on the Tinder account than on the rest of the show.

David Murphy steals the show when he enters the stage with a nice casual familiarity and keeps us engaged. There is definitely potential for Murphy as he is engaging, quick-witted, and confident on stage; I hope to see him again during the Festival.

Overall, my three stars are for a lovely evening of good laughs. However there is room for improvement – clarity with the delivery of material in particular as some lines were missed and the punch lines lost.

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
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. 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.
