Simply Fancy - *GO AND SEE IT* - Review.

Hi,

I went to see simply fancy last night. Wow. Such a good show, I'm a real fan of this trio.

They are three arty kids from sydney who do the funniest things.

Well first I must say there were robots as part of the theme. But there were also woodland creatures. So far 4 out of the 5 shows I've seen this year have referenced robots in their shows.

There are silly songs, old ladies, young men, old men, young ladies, and all sorts of characters acted by only three people - including a manta ray! I really also enjoyed the lighting - am I weird for enjoying lighting? Well they used lighting quite well. I think the manta ray was my favourite animal acted out in the show.

I can't believe there were only about 20 people watching this show... everyone who has seen it has been blown away by it. I think the audience laughed like there were 37 people there, not 20. I've had maybe five different people recommend the show to me so far. However I already had tickets, since I saw their show last year and was blown away. Ok, you may think that I know these people or something... or that I'm getting paid by them. They are just really good. So there.

The song on the Ukulele was done quite well, so was the piece done with a recorder. I also appreciated what looked like home made capes! So many interesting things in this show, I won't mention them all.

Some people have compared Simply Fancy to the Mighty Boosh - in that they go on adventures with surreal things happening all around them. Except the Mighty Boosh is on teevee, and this is real, in front of you - weirder and cooler. Simply Fancy are cooler comedians than the Mighty Boosh.

Anyway. Got to go now. Simply Fancy were pretty sweet dancers too - definitely recommended. See you on Saturday for a drink? Oh, they have ginger beer at trades hall where the show is. Nice. Gingery.
