Gamarjobat Present The Western, Komedia, Brighton, until May 21
2:18pm Monday 19th May 2008
Last year's Argus Angel winners return for the UK premiere of their new show The Western.
Although billed as a "100% brand new show", they kick things off with a best of-style warm-up routine. Anyone who has seen the mohicaned duo before will be familiar with most of these physical comedy gags, but it's still hilarious. There's the heavy suitcase stunt, the constantly appearing orange balls and the giant throbbing thumb.
Fresh material is served up in the form of The Western - a charmingly fun story of love and revenge in the Wild West.
A pastiche of a Western in the same way their previous show The Boxer was based on the story of Rocky, this is just as inventive.
It's classic silent comedy and the storytelling is hugely imaginative and a joy to watch. Not all of the mime is clear and the show could do with some editing down and tightening up in places, but they're such hugely likeable performers, with bucketloads of charisma, it's impossible not to be completely won over by the overall spirit of the show.
Gamarjobat broke with mime tradition by announcing this is the first performance of The Western outside of Japan and it could be your last chance to see Gamarjobat for a while.
Ketch and Hiropon have been booked to appear on Broadway in 2009 so for a final dose of tongue waggling and bum slicing - book a ticket now!
