Rachel Jackson acts as host for what promises to be a winner for me, showcasing 2 of my favourite things in the show, “5 Comedians Do Comedy and Karaoke”.

There’s an amateurish charm, and it feels rather unrehearsed at times which adds to the chaos. To be fair, some of the comedy is quite funny as each act showcases parts of their larger Fringe show.

However, the Karaoke part could be much better. It all gets a bit shouty and some of the acts choose really difficult songs to sing, and it feels like it’s the first time they have actually seen the words to their tunes.

A different line up is offered up every day, for me, Roger Swift and his silly puns, was one of the highlights. Loads of visual gags, pulled from a suitcase, cheesy dad jokes and lots of groans.

There were some tech issues which didn’t help and sometimes can’t be avoided, don’t get me wrong most of us in the audience had a good time, but it could have been better with a little work. It’s an easy watch that needs some fine tuning.
