| The
uniquely outrageous mother-and-daughter comedy sketch show in which the
two stars almost never play mother and daughter. At 13, Ashley Storrie was
the Fringe's youngest comic. She’s Back in comedy aged 20 with her
acclaimed stand-up-playwright-actress-author mum Janey Godley.
USUALLY
mothers and daughters go shopping together, perhaps, swimming or maybe
even take up a cross stitch class.
Not Janey and Ashley. They have set about putting together a
viciously funny, and really rather crude sketch show.
But it’s a sketch show that packed out the crowds during last
year’s Edinburgh Fringe racking up top reviews from critics along the
way.
This
is comedy unbothered by political correctness. For further evidence
consider the cast list of recurring characters: the foul-mouthed gypsy
fortune teller, the foul-mouthed novice prostitute, the foul-mouthed
grannie, the foul-mouthed Jesus, the foul-mouthed…
But the sweary words go over your head when you realise that as much
as watching a mother and daughter you’re watching two women giggling and
having fun and they’re bringing you along for the ride
At 13, Ashley Storrie
was the Fringe's youngest comic and now aged 20 she’s back in comedy
with her acclaimed stand-up-playwright-actress-author mum Janey Godley. Go
along – expect to be shocked but expect to have fun too!
WHAT
THEY SAY
“Comedy unbothered by political
correctness... language you would think you really oughtn't to use in
front of your mother, let alone perform alongside her... delicacy is
perhaps not an issue... downright offensive lines” (Chortle)
"Inevitably comparable to 'Little
Britain', 'Square Street' is far funnier... not for the faint-hearted, but
it's a must-see for everyone else." (Three Weeks) ****
"A biting, bare-faced assault on
the Fringe - the sine qua non of political incorrectness" (The
Scotsman)
