While in Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival over the weekend, I had the joy of seeing two good friends of mine, John Gallagher and Matthew Smyth, performing their comedy show, “A Betrayal Of Penguins” at The Sweet Heart. Having performed with the guys in “Improv, She Wrote”, the Trinity College Dublin improv troupe which we established this year, I have some experience first-hand of how downright funny they are. They invariably double-team beautifully in improv games together and it was only natural that they would bring those same talents along with their obvious chemistry to the Fringe. The show is very funny, mixing their own individual stand-up routines with sketches, improvisation and scripted double-acting. If you want other people’s opinions, try The List and Three Weeks, two respected Festival guides who each bestowed 4-star reviews on the guys. While there, I also took the liberty of filming some of the promo work on the Royal Mile and the show itself on Sunday 23rd of August. This Youtube video is the result. Enjoy, and look out for “A Betrayal Of Penguins” in the future – they’re certainly not endangered.
