The Cambridge Footlights International Tour Show 2016: Lagoon (4.0/5)


A classic Fringe show - a lot of laughs, a little rough around the edges, Lagoon will only get better with time.  After a slow mumbling start this set of sketches hits its stride with a witty guitar shop skit and a birthday surprise with a marvellous twist.  When going well the comic timing is spot-on with quality material, the occasional over-long fumbling sketch (4D TV?) can be forgiven.  With a tighter opening and ending this show will win prizes.
