COMEDY

This interminable piece of dross performed by two women, who on first appearance I thought to be drag queens, should be served with a health warning: Danger to anyone who possesses an inkling of subtlety, shrewdness or intelligence and does not wish to be treated like a voyeur watching not so much a car crash but more a terrorist attack on the senses.

This piece of ‘comedy and dance’ as it is described, is a confusing mix of performance art, failed humour and pointless nudity.  One sketch involved one half of the catastrophic duo, dressed in a ballerina costume, picking her nose, trying to eat her own foot and licking her nipple.  I speak for myself and the rest of the audience, when I say we were all rather hoping she would choke.  This display of self indulgent and patronising wannabe comedy is an insult to the few audience members that paid money to have an hour of their life crassly taken from them.

I believe the point of this façade, was meant to be some sort of illustration on comedy duo’s, done as they put it, in an ‘honest female sort of way’.  This I do find funny, as I have no idea how on earth, miming fellatio and premature ejaculation is at all characteristically female.  I think any woman watching this spectacle would be offended that such immaturity is akin to any sort of femaleness.

There are a fair few infamous double acts in history; Myra Hindley and Ian Brady, Fred and Roesmary West, the Kray twins, and… you see where I’m going with this.  The Two Wrongies will be well known through Edinburgh fairly soon as having not only the worst show of the entire Festival but for the first riots in Scotland starting as irate audiences demand their money back.
