The history of Cambridge Footlights has alumni that features many a star and each year there is an aspiring new generation of Stephen Frys and Emma Thomsons.

I have been watching them for a few years myself, some better than others and it pleases me no end to say that this year’s show is certainly far better than last years.

The format doesn’t change too much, a series of sketches loosely tied together to tell a story. The humour this year is far more to my taste. Last years was way too much out there. The cast of Ed Coleman, Nick Mohammed, Ralph Shirley, Sarah Solmani and Johnny Sweet are the talented performers and the shows been tightly directed and staged.
