Did you know that 50% of human genes are found in bananas?

And have you ever wondered why women worry so much about their hair and why men worry about becoming bald?

Leo Aylen and Sara Kestelman ricocheted off each other in An Assortment Of Sybils an evening of poetry, prose and nonsense, largely inspired by nursery rhymes and natural forces with some cracking gender jokes thrown in for good measure.

Leo Aylen - a mixture of Hilaire Belloc, Ogden Nash, Euripides and David Attenborough - delivers his own verses with enormous enthusiasm as if he is discovering them for the first time.

He keeps the wonder of the natural world alive as carefully as his Neanderthal heroes kept their fire or as Odysseus the secret of his bedding.

His is a marvellous, quirky English humour with a keen sense of the absurd and a Gilbertian pleasure in clever rhymes – “ISA” and “nicer” in a ballad about the beauty of money was a particular pleasure.

Sparring partner Sara Kestelman delivered the sophistication of a brilliant stage actress in contrast to Aylen’s boyish bounce - his poetry crackled and sparkled with her wondrous range of voices. We lived happily ever after.
