Did I Believe It?

In a word, this was 'good' (but I did believe it could have been better)
There was a lot to praise about this show. It's an interesting concept and certainly a lot of effort had been put in to create something a bit different, and for that reason alone I'd recommend it. Also, a must see if you are a Vodka fan (being as that is the theme of the show) and including two complimentary cocktails in the ticket price was an inspired move.
Some of the timing was a little out (if using the comedy pause you really have to be oh so sure to get it split-second perfect) but mostly the 'acting' was very good. A few of the gags which were playing on the sexism of the 70's style of TV programme fell short of the satire they were aiming for, and were really just a bit lame (sexism I can cope with, but not if it just isn't actually funny).
However, in the main part it was a good show and certainly worth going to if you think it's likely to be your cup of tea (or more appropriately, your glass of Moscow Mule).
Best moment was three of the cast desperately struggling to hold bag a fit of the giggles while the fourth did his utmost to make them lose it. The kind of comic gem that you just can't script into a show and demostrates a great repartee between the players
