COMEDY

A double act comedy featuring Louise, a nervous insipid creature lacking in confidence and Yasmin, a sexy cradle snatcher who steals childhood dreams. The converse personalities of the pair would be a bit more convincing had they been just a little less contrived and over-played.

The audience is taken on the journey of how the duo met, at a Bar Mitzvah. We flit back and forward to various events in their lives, like an interview with Colin Pharrell; an exploration in Puerto Rico and a transcripted date. There’s even a bog-standard M&S avert skit thrown in, and the highlight is a spectacular duet by the pair at the end.

Ford and Akram are both tremendously talented – that is absundantly obvious in the way the perform, move, mime and sing … and the chemistry between the two is electric. What we have here are four star performers with two star material. It’s still worth a watch of an afternoon – entertaining while you’re there, but nothing very memorable.
