What a pleasant surprise I had today Dear Listener. At the suggestion of a lovely young lady working at the Pleasance I went and saw Pegabovine's 'Coat of Arms'.
At first my heart sunk - at first it seemed like the standard 'middle-class student wankery' you can get at the fringe. Yes, that sounds harsh I know.
But wait!
The show built and built and by the end they had myself and the rest of the audience cheering - happy and energised by the witty writing and exurberant performances of Davis Wateracre, Jenny Sutton and Matthew Johnson.
Please don't be put off by the terrible hack review writing of the above paragraph - if you're in Edinburgh this month go see this show - I loved it so much I interviewed them for an upcoming LTA podcast and plan to get them on ConstantComedy.com if time permits!
Pegabovine's 'The Coat of Arms' at the Pleasance Courtyard, 2pm Daily.
