Today’s review:

(Foil, Arms and Hog)

Sarah Edwards’ review: Foil, Arms and Hog is an excellent performance by three energetic young Irish comedians. The show is extremely fast paced and bounces heavily off audience participation but not in a callous or humiliating way as a lot of modern comics do – this is good natured humour.

However this format does not take away from the sharpness of those well delivered lines from clerical abuse to mother-son domestics, the collection of skits is excellently delivered with the vigour of ripened thespians but three twenty-something-year-old comedians instead have the audience in stitches! A huge variety of ages in attendance, a hilarious performance very in tune with Irish humour and really worth seeing!

In three words? Energetic, colloquial, sharp.
