Watson and Oliver (3 stars)

(0)

This article is from 2007.

This pair’s absurd sketches include Olympic ceremonies, last suppers and Jane Austen-style romps, which they infuse with musical flair. Oliver takes the lead as a beaming, stage school parody, while Watson uses her large, watery blue eyes to play the comedic underdog. Despite their charisma, the show falls short of a laughter extravaganza due to weak writing and missed punchlines.

Pleasance Courtyard, 556 6550, until 27 Aug (not 13), 4pm, £8.50–£9.50 (£7–£8).
