The first of three nights under the banner of Comedy@Bedford Place had the theme of improvised comedy, a difficult and dangerous art form. In the wrong hands it can prove to be disastrous.
Therefore, it is pleasing to report this bold attempt was a success - albeit a qualified one.
The first half took its cue from television's "Whose Line Is It Anyway?", enabling the talented quartet of actors to devise and ad-lib routines from themes/lines supplied by the audience. The results were hilarious.
The format changed after the interval when the cast, in the role of a quiz show panel and with some audience participation, poked fun at game shows.
This segment, lacking tightness, came across as ragged with humour - merely amusing rather than the belly-aching laughter achieved earlier.
That apart, the cast are commended for taking on this challenge.
