Darren Walsh and Mark Simmons present a 50 minute panel game show based around puns. Both are previous winners of a 'joke of the fringe' award, so one expects quality.
As with the nature of most one-liner based does there are hits and misses but overall the two hit the mark. Some last minute audience participation (one of the invited guest punellists, a friend of one co-host, out right refused to come as they didn't know they'd be performing - ah the best laid plans...) worked surprisingly well.
There's a good density of puns in this show and any fan of wordplay will certainly enjoy themselves. It also had a charming ramshackleness one expects of the smaller fringe shows.
And the audience can even play along.
Overall an enjoyable 50 minutes but steer clear if you're an enemy of wordplay.
