GREAT show tonight.
Really enjoyed it, though a couple of sketches maybe need "health warnings" for delicate Scots guys not used to vagina ventriloquist dummies and CV-analysing eggs, not to mention the fantastic "heterosexuals have moved into the neighbourhood" :)

Might even drag some friends back for a second show
