2 up and coming young comedians, performing in the basement of a pub, it has Edinburgh Fringe written all over it!  Kie Carson and Cameron Jones split the bill in this comedy caper in the aptly titled 2 Boys, 1 Bucket.

Kie opens up proceedings on a whistle-stop tour of how his life is panning out.  Exploring his own sexuality, on-line dating and having a homo-phobic dad all get some serious attention in this confidently delivered half hour. There’s a nice flow to his stories and plenty of laughs.

Cameron has a more observational style, good energy and stage presence, but his fast pace needs to slow down a little, as some of the audience missed out on some very funny material.  Also doing a deep-dive on family and their quirks the stories he shares are seriously funny.

Both lads give  solid performance and all in all it’s an enjoyable show, worth taking a punt on. There’s nice chemistry between these guys, both trying to make a name in the world of comedy.  So if you decide to go and see this show, make sure you dig deep to help fill the bucket.

***1/2
