Fringe  Comedy 2002   Back

Text in the City  -  Laughter Lounge

Fringe Programme page 21
 
Just when I thought I would be going through the entire Fringe without experiencing ‘old-fashioned’ impro- comedy, I went to watch Text in the City.
  Five comedians, including the legendary Steve Frost and Steve Steen, performed with verve and the ‘New Technology’ aspect, i.e. suggestions by mobile phone text messages certainly gave the suggestions a new slant.
  It wasn’t only this method, they did take suggestions shouted from the audiences as well, and this worked equally as well. The audience was not the largest I have seen this Fringe, but the enjoyment value certainly was as there and then some.
  Tara, Ian and Becky were more than capable of holding their own, and played an important part in making this an excellent hour plus experience.
  There will probably be a changing line up at other performances, but if they are half as good as the performers I saw, well, you certainly will have a value for money show.
