All Over Your Face (Rachel Anderson and Luisa Omielan)

By Sarah Mulvenna | Published on Sunday 14 August 2011

Rebecca Anderson makes a convincing vicar’s daughter, complete with sweet voice, cheerful attitude and blonde hair. Her jokes, however, are far removed from her squeaky clean image and the crowd is easily sucked into her iniquitous sing-song on the autoharp – a ridiculous and highly amusing prop. She is joined by fellow comic, Luisa, who bounces around the stage with an enthusiasm that is absolutely infectious. Luisa manages to bang out a full song about a cow, love and turning 30 after one minute’s preparation – improvisation that is nothing short of astounding. These funny girls will keep all entertained with outrageous subject matter and painful honesty; if you only see one comedy show this fringe, I advise this be it.

Laughing Horse @ Meadow Bar, 6 – 27 Aug, 11.30pm (12.20pm), free, fpp 37.
