Canadian Graham Clark opens the show with a nice 10 minute set about his life, being a vegetarian and how "apparently drunk Graham isn't vegetarian!". He then promises to pain a picutre using his impressive beard. The challenge: Donald Trump - he actually succeeds with a nice pop-art style picture of Trump!
The main attraction of the show is the Fringe favourites, the Pajama Men. I had been expecting a night of improvisation from this imaginative duo, but alas it was mainly a revisiting of many of their most famous characters.
For people uninitiated to The Pajama Men, it probably would have held greater delight and comedy. For those who had seen their previous shows, it was more a trip down memory lane for the most part, with occasional riffing of new characters, or familiar ones in unfamiliar situations. Sadly, no reappearance of Cute Thing.
There were a couple of improv sets: long-distance love letters and two-headed monsters, which did produce a funny moment ("What's haggis made out of?" "Haggis is made from...bad...dreams").
Overall an entertaining night but a tad disappointing from these geniuses. Maybe best stick to their new material.
