Shirley and Shirley: The Wonder Years - Review

Take two women, a seemingly endless array of accents and an hour's worth of imaginative sketches. Character observation is clearly this duo's main stock in trade and with such well executed vignettes throughout, it's clear that these two are no amateurs.

It does make you wonder what on earth could inspire such concepts as Pippa and Kate Middleton discussing marital issues in a strong Jamaican patois, or a homicidal Mrs. Kipling discussing the contents of her famous cakes with her granddaughter.

Occasionally I was more impressed with the ideas being explored rather than feeling compelled to laugh out loud but overall this show is a riot of silliness, lovingly and confidently honed into a show that shouldn’t be missed.

Show details: 6:45pm at the Assembly Hall - details HERE.
