17.08.09 Comedy Job Lot Review |
See below for some nice words about Doggett and Ephgrave's Comedy Job Lot, taken from the Camden Fringe Voyeur:
Doggett & Ephgrave: Comedy Job Lot
Chris Lean
Despite sounding like a firm of chartered accountants, Doggett and Ephgrave demonstrated ample ability to tickle the funny bone with their show ‘Comedy Job Lot’ at the Camden Head.
The duo already run a successful comedy night in Hertfordshire and this is their first solo venture on the Camden Fringe. It’s pretty much impossible to sum up their act in a simple sentence – I guess that’s why they call it a ‘job lot’. The upside is that it’s fast-moving and allows for plenty of funny ideas; the downside is that it makes it hard to pin down what kind of act they are. But they offer a snappy mix of gags, sketches and songs, including a particularly funny skit revolving around using Star Trek actor’s names as sexual euphemisms, a ukulele number and a careful dissection of the worst (or best) of ‘real life’ mag headlines.
It’s a quirky set that hits the mark most of the time, despite an occasional over-reliance on showing us things that they found funny rather their own gags. But they’ve got a keen eye for the absurd and they’re both polished, natural comedians who act and feel comfortable on stage despite performing in a very difficult time slot. This voyeur for one enjoyed their gig a lot, and might take up shadow puppetry as a result.

16.07.09 - "Comedy Job Lot" at the Camden Head (10th - 15th August 2009) |
For six nights only, Doggett and Ephgrave will be bringing their first entirely solo show to the Camden Fringe – and giving audiences a tantalising insight into their slightly skewed take on the world. The title of this hour-long exploration into their psyche is Comedy Job Lot; a grab bag of songs, sketches and stand-up from the up-and-coming comedy double act.
Audiences will be treated to a whistle-stop tour through the everyday minutiae of Glyn and David's lives; everything from Star Trek to shadow puppetry, Capri Sun to kissing cousins and Gordon Brown to Gary Glitter.
Tickets: £7.50
Start time: 5.45pm
