Chambers and Nettleton

Fringe Programme page 22

Chambers and  Nettleton sound like a firm of Estate Agent or solicitors, but they are not. In fact Lynne and Sally are about as far removed as possible from these professions. They are a very talented comedy duo, who can sing rather well too. They play well off each other and seem to be enjoying their craft as much as the audience were.

These Northern Birds, their description, split the act between stand-up routines and comical parodies of popular recording artistes and I am not sure which part of their act I preferred as both were equally good.

Sometimes self- depreciating, Sally is generally the but of the jokes   She can come across very' blonde' for someone so brunette, but it is a ploy that works well. After one of Sally's 'blonde' moments she was asked ' Did you have a village idiot in Wensleydale?' [her home town]  Sally's response 'No, we all took turns.'

It surely is only a matter of time until these two talented ladies make the big time, so now would be the time to get a ticket while there are still some available.
