The Ginge the Geordie and the Geek - 4.45pm Just the Tonic @ The Caves

What was good about the 80's ???? yeah not allot i know but they did have some great sketch comedy and that my friends is exactly what the three G's offer up, good quality fast paced 80's style sketch humour. OK it's a bit tacky props and costume wise but at the end of the day as long as the material is good, and by god it is, that's all that matters right?, well unless your looking to win one of the many comedy awards floating around Edinburgh this time of year. Stuff awards though this show is all about making you laugh and it does that from start to finish. The boys give birth to a host of different characters throughout the show, some used just once and some reappearing time and time again. Even though the costume changes are not major they are still very believable and this is down to some great acting ability. The ventriloquist dummy sketch is great and it's all down to the fantastic comic facial expressions pulled by the geek, seriously if you don't laugh you must be dead. Top drawer comedy already and they have still some room to improve. Watch out comedy world,  there is a new team in Edinburgh and not only are they funny but they have a fantastic taste in music. if you love to laugh and hate James Blunt then The Ginge, The Geordie and The Geek are a edfringe must. Go see them and spread the word. The Boys are back in town
