This ill-conceived, ill-prepared confusion contains sketch comedy, stand-up, improv, reading of things written as children and even (!) inspirational poetry ("as mygoosebumps flattened").
What were these funny ladies thinking? That they could mount a Fringe show with what appears to be a few hours preparation?
Improvswent in circles; sketches ground to an awkward halt; cheap laughs relied on cruelty andclich.
If only the show didn't feel so lazy!- Shawna Dempsey
The few wan smiles it elicited from me were all the more pained because I had gone into this show prepared to love it.Comedy reflecting diverse female experiences is desperately needed in what is largely all-male terrain, and these four women had the potential to rock that boy-boat.If only the show didn't feel so lazy!
Individually, they are not without talent and charm, but collectively there is no spark.Good comedic improvisers make it look easy.Flesh-Coloured Crayonsillustrates what hard work it really is.
