Two Birds go into a Bar.... - One4Review

Two birds is not a double act but two ladies doing a separate stand up one after the other. First on is Ayesha Haziraka, a second generation Scot of Indian Moslem descent from Hamilton and looking like a cross between a young Felicity Kendal and Nana Mouskouri. She relates humerous anecdotes from her background, including her time at a posh Glasgow school for girls. Indian middle class parents are the most pushy in terms of their children’s education. Indeed, the solution to under-achieving pupils would be to farm them out to Indian mothers. Second on is Zoe Lyons from Brighton. Very sharp wit characterises her delivery as she pokes fun at show jumpers and vegetarians. Her experiences as a waitress has provided funny material, and she wouldn’t have been the waitress to take any liberties with. The Two Birds know how to relate to and work their audience to develop their humour. It is a pity, however, that we didn’t see them working together at some point – perhaps that is something for the future.    ***
