Superb cross section of performers, the tent is fun, the atmosphere electric and we left having been entertained, a little bit of this, some of that and plenty of the other host Cal Harris who certainly knows how to keep a Brighton audience hyped up and the participants all have their own engaging traits.

Egg whips it up into a froth of unexpected delights, some of the things he used, and the ways in which they are used belies a surreal and adaptable imagination and he’d certainly be on my list of people to share the Isle of Man with in a zombie apocalypse as much for his sheer entertaining company as much as his ability to knock up a meal using just about anything.

This is pure festival gold! The narrative might be familiar, the plot might not always land well, but the hour spent in the ridiculous and coercive presence of Butt Kapinski has been one of the highlights of my festival so far.
Zak Ghazi-Torbati and Toby Marlow are a superb reincarnation of that most perfect of British traditions, a very funny, perfectly honed, duet of white cis men who use their own experience and privilege to subvert and twist our ideas of outrage, insult and offense.
