Sean Grant and Tiernan Douieb

Kicking off with tepid, half-baked and badly edited gags by Douieb, who wants to turn Rage Against the Machine songs into a musical, the show improves in the second half with Glaswegian acid tongue, Grant. Making his family life sound like the Addams Family, and reminiscing on the time he blacked up to an abolition of slavery celebration, his slow pace and relaxed delivery lift a hit-and-miss routine.
