A chance discovery while perusing the Fringe Programme, with my tastes seemingly wandering towards absurdism of late I thought I'd check out this show.
A frenetic energy brings together a tale of a resurrected triceratops, a dying planet and the coming together of Michael Morpurgo and Macklemore into Mackle-Morpurgo resulting in an overall quite entertaining hour of comedy. There's definitely an amateur, strongly Fringe feel to the whole show and certainly some sets could do with tightening but there are moments of genuinely good jokes that come from nowhere and gave me a belly laugh, interestingly it wasn't the whimsical absurdist jokes that landed best in the night.
If you're looking for a worthwhile 'out-there' show you'd do well to check out this show, charming, silly and sweet in good measure, and maybe you'll be smitten by the cute fluffy dinosaur hat.
