PAPPY'S FUN CLUB - * * *
(with Ivan Brackenbury)
[...]
Pappy's Fun Club is a four-man
sketch outfit whose loose, just-mucking-about
manner conceals a sure sense of structure.
Even so, they need big set-pieces to keep
them the right side of jolly amateurism,
and the first half of their show Funergy
lacks the calibre of last year's Bob Dylan
routine to help to shut down all critical
faculties. Thankfully, their outsized ideas
- warring stuntmen, an evil whale, casual
racism, the greening of the Fun Club - all
come together in a second half full of backbiting,
inspiring homemade props and silly songs.
Patchy, but very, very likeable.
