BEASTS (Owen Roberts, James McNicholas and Ciarán Dowd) return with another (loosely) narrative show, this time they're recording their show for a Hollywood producer.
This year's there bolder and more energetic, they're going into the audience, sometimes even blow-drying them, there's bread galore this year (so much bread - watch it and find out) and Ciarán is indulged by doing more nudity this year.
They don't do conventional sketch; they take an idea and they explode it into a glorious technicolour display of pranks and antics. There are some crude, deliberately cringe-worthy, squirm in your seat moments, there are some moments when it's a bit much and some moments of such sheer silliness it's a joy. Overall a very entertaining show that really embodies the exuberant spirit of the Fringe.
I just feel sorry for the venue staff who have to clean the stage (just go watch it).
