Think Two Ronnies (with four guys not two) this troupe follow the traditions of great British sketch comedy in a style that is full of contradictions. They are sophisticated yet simplistically silly, intelligent yet puerile, they are amateurish yet highly polished.
The costumes, sets and props are generally understated yet enough to enable the entire audience to suspend their disbelief yet they masterfully utilise modern technology for endless sight gags.
The show opens on a WWII plane with crew holding a German prisoner of war, that is until one of cast breaks the forth wall pointing out they are all just actors. This is the beginning of an hour of endless fast gags, puns, slapstick, songs and audience interaction.
The “Dad jokes” sketch and the hens night that woke up as men are particularly noteworthy in a show that had the whole audience LOL-ing from beginning to end.
There is occasional profanity but - unlike some comedians who use “f**k” as the punch line to every joke or merely as punctuation – it is used sparingly and skilfully.
The show is fast, too fast. Idiots of Ants definitely subscribe to the adage of leaving their audiences wanting more. I could have watched their sketches all night. Days after seeing the show I am still giggling to myself about this show.
