A last minute addition to my fringe schedule. I'm usually wary of student sketch shows; previous experience suggests an hour of half-baked ideas, awkwardly timed pieces or outlandish jokes that don't quite hit the mark. This show has done nothing to change my views. The group do well with their show-ending song about Countdown's Rachel Riley and moderate slapstick in their opening skit, but only the occasional chuckle and smirk is is won in a moderately tedious middle. Their Northern English version of Breaking Bad, however, is quite nicely executed, and they have some decent callbacks, but overall the spiced chicken wings in the venue's bar are probably more enjoyable than the show.
