Joy just swept through me this entire hour! Friends Dan and Ollie have stolen weed and aim to sell it at the yearly music festival… what could possibly go wrong? With classic 2000s-esque live music playing, the songs act as interludes between story segments, showcasing the characters’ feelings or setting the location. The cast is endearing, bringing a sense of charm and lovable charisma that the audience quickly comes to adore. The show features an exhilarating script that is purely entertaining, though pacing felt slightly off: it felt as though a large portion of the show was spent waiting for the story to progress, but then we raced through the final act. The true horror, though, is when it’s sadly over.

Summerhall, until 31 Aug.
