Children's entertainment just aint what it used to be and that's because it's got better. Swizzleshaker and The Splott Brothers are two examples of just how fantastically innovative the genre has become and both ensured that Flabbergast', formally known as The Pussycat Club, provided top-notch fun for all the family. Swizzleshaker captivated the young audience with energetic sketches based around cinema's golden oldies', featuring hilarious characters and beautiful costumes. The Splott Brothers were a more slapstick affair, achieving a great many laughs due to exaggerated facial expressions as well as a range of crowd-pleasing magic tricks and jolly songs played on the most kitsch organ known to man, finished with its own palm tree. Both acts were intelligently crafted and engaging, just the ticket if you are seeking a unique way to enjoy the Fringe with children.
