Footlights in 'Pretty Little Panic'

Asides from one moment of surrealist brilliance, the current Footlights batch patently don’t have a Key or Fry among them, as they cut a swathe through far too many sketches. Their ‘borrowing’ of the Marx Brothers mirror sequence only serves to prove that technical ability can never compensate for a lack of comedic guile.

Pleasance Dome, 556 6550, until 29 Aug, 5.20pm, £9–£10 (£8–£9).
