Spoof Christian folk
Related Articles
21 August 2007
Following up last year's if.comeddie Best Newcomer-nominated Concert For LaVert, spoof Christian folk duo God's Pottery crank up the stakes ridiculously, as the well-meaning evangelists try solving the world's problems via an eight-point programme of theatre and song.
It's basically what Concert For LaVert was but, dammit, you can't be cynical faced with tunes as wonderfully crass as adoption epic You're Just As Special As A Normal Child or the jaw-droppingly inappropriate Rap For Africa.
This is a character comedy at heart, with the personality clash between the overbearing Jeremiah Smallchild (pictured right) and the hapless Gideon Lamb (left) sending the second half off at a completely unexpected tangent. A third show in this vein would seem a bridge too far but, for now, this is the funniest hour of planet-preserving you could hope for.
Until Mon, Pleasance Courtyard, 6.40pm, £8 to £10.50.
