The show was well presented and very informal.
I was a bit disappointed by the attendance, just over half full but Paul & Barry made up for that!
My boys were laughing throughout the show. All the characters from the show, past and present were on stage too. Some of the gags were simply pulled off with the utmost of timing. Paul was his usual self and responded with timely accuracy, everytime.
The audience interaction was cool, though a little wet. Not the gags here, but the water pistols!!!
The music and lighting was fantastic.
The "me to you" routines worked everytime!!
The costumes were used brilliantly and made the link for my boys from tv shows to reality. They actually remembered some of the gags from the shows and tried them on dad when they got home.
What was different from all the "other" kids shows was the amount of personality that goes into their act. They never seem to get bored with the repetitiveness of the gags and deliver superbly everytime. As a forty something, I was whooping with laughter throughout. Just why these brothers have not been knighted, i do not know. They are simply heads above the rest!! Childrens entertainment is not that, without them. They are getting no younger but the show is as strong as ever. They all work so hard to deliver for the audience. They seem to get a great buzz from the crowds and revel in there well deserved rounds of applause.
As a little bonus, after the show, my boys went to queue to see them for their autographs and were allowed the taking of ONE picture only. I do not think that it was the brothers decision but that of the management company. It was great for them to meet their idols! They will treasure the photograph for ever. Their ages were disclosed and it is a miracle of what their work rate is, considering that they are no spring chickens!! Oh, by the way, these are not just one hit wonders you know, they have been in the entertainment business for over 70 years!!! Their older brother is a legend too!!! So, in summary, they give their all in this feature/gag packed show. Its NOT just for kids neither!! Boys you deserve a long term achievement awards for all you have done for slapstick. You are always politically correct and very, very funny... so from me to you, get your ticket booked if the brothers are in your town - you wont be disappointed!!!!
They are ther best!!
