The Leaning Report

In the murky depths of Smirnoff Underbelly there are treasures to be found a plenty, for this is a venue where the latest and strangest comedy acts come out to feed off their audience’s hilarity. Charred and Dangerous are a triple act that reek with talent and ideas but the public’s noses have yet to smell their pungent odour, which has the potential to lift the trio into the upper echelons of stardom. As for their opening show, this reviewer had trouble deciding whether the performance deserved a damning label of one star or the exceptional honour of five – that is how much of a mystery these comedians are! However, Charred and Dangerous remains a comic treasure chest, which deserves to be hunted for and opened.

Is the constant bombardment of depressing news making your head hurt? Then treat yourself to some panadol and an evening of song, dance and comedy sketches by four accomplished comic actors. Their satirical sniper rifles are cocked, loaded and aimed at current political and social topics, from the public enemies of Blair, Brown and Prescott to the defenceless targets of the blind and disabled. But do not let their apparent cruel and senseless comedy attacks put you off; for beneath the wickedly cheeky musical numbers and the fast-paced sketches is intelligent and insightful comedy writing. The satire is both cynical and brazen and occasionally you might feel bad from laughing so loudly, but don’t worry, that’s just your head starting to feel better again.
