The incy, bitsy, cute face of Fancy Rat… with little round ears and beady eyes and cute pot belly with incy paws… I know that you too will be a fan of Fancy Rat. Strap in for classic and joyous slapstick humour with Marny Godden and Tom Turner, who are superb, and enthralled from the opening smile to the closing well-deserved standing ovation. The warmth and honesty portrayed mixed with an abundance of comical one liners, tongue twisters, cheeky smiles, and quick change outfits left me breathless, and also singing the catchy songs on the way home. Sheer madness, and that’s just what’s needed. A refreshing show, yet evocative of Monty Python, executed with precision. Wow! Do I want to see this again? Yes I do!

Hoots @ Potterow, until 11 Aug.
