Ford And Akram – Bamp! (Live Nation And MHA)
By Simon Thornton | Published on Thursday 16 August 2012
Bearing a sketch-show with a twist, Ford and Akram return to the Edinburgh Fringe with a story that follows their quest to introduce the word “Bamp” to the world, in order to save the family business (they invent words) from falling into the hands of Phil the shoe, literally a trainer. The far-fetched narrative is bizarre, at times completely bonkers and sometimes seems to be all over the place, but if you are prepared to suspend logic for an hour and become enveloped in its zany surrealism, then the show becomes highly entertaining. Both Ford and Akram are wonderfully spontaneous performers, and their enthusiasm and sense of fun on stage is truly infectious. I have a feeling this extremely likeable duo will go far. Bamp-tastic!
