COVERING THE EDINBURGH FESTIVAL SINCE 1996
Twins – Pret a Comedy (Twins)

The schtick here is that Jack, the boy of the really not very identical twins, has an hour to live. He needs to chomp through a bucket list, little of which is achievable in the time available, but can all be imagined theatrically. You know, through sketches. A mildly anarchic hour ensures, with a mixed bag of general absurdity. It’s not the tightest, or the slickest, and some set-ups take an age to get to a punchline that wasn’t worth the journey, but there are some gems and some bold bits of audience participation here. It’s a free show at midnight, as they keep reminding us, and that’s a fair point. A diverting enough start to the wee small hours.
Pleasance Courtyard, until 30 Aug.
