Seen at the Edinburgh Fringe, Pleasance

Such a disappointment. They said it themselves, why 70s style comedy sketches now? They cited several famous predecessors, but shouldn't need such a justification - or was it an apology? Like all sketch shows, it was hit and miss. Sadly, most of it seemed dated. Referencing a Daz commercial from the distant past must be outside these young students’ living memory. They are keen, some cocky, but need better material if they want to impress.
