As The Edinburgh Fringe looms large on the comedy circuit, it’s time for Brighton once again to prepare itself for a mass migration of all things humorous.

Luckily for those who need a quick comedy fix to tie them over, help is at hand. Beach Hut Mutts is the latest show from Hutchins and Haase and it’s as cute and quirky as all their others.

The structure is another carbon-copy of their previous shows – a plethora of crazy, over-the-top characters pitched together in an everyday scenario peppered with impending disaster and a twist of the extraordinary. This is a recipe that works and the “deeply distinguished beautiful audience” on Monday were committed fans.

Knowing exactly what to expect, they were putty in these expert comedians’ hands, happy to participate or to be implicated, loving the twists and turns of the cleverly layered narrative, the sparkling chemistry between the performers and the crafty reincorporations.

But mostly they simply never tired of watching these two lovable rogues make the very difficult look like the most natural thing in the world.
