Princes of Main @ Bedlam Theatre

Ring in the New Year early with sketch trio Princes of Main

Review by Nadia Younes | 07 Aug 2017

 Oddball sketch trio Princes of Main delight the audience with their what-the-fuck-is-going-on? comedy.

Hosting a New Year’s Eve party in August may seem odd, but Princes are probably not alone in wanting to say an early goodbye to 2017. They run us through a series of lowlights from the year so far, naturally heavily featuring Donald Trump and Theresa May, and their own personal, albeit fictional, highlights.

The madness takes form in a number of ridiculously hilarious sketches, with stand-outs including a creepy antique shop owner and the occult, summoning spirits from the audience. The show relies quite heavily on audience participation at times and tonight the group were unlucky with their first attempt but lucked out later on, with a more up for it audience member challenging their wit.

There were a few hiccups here but Princes of Main’s fictional New Year’s Eve party will leave you hoping that their version of reality is fact.

Princes of Main: New Year's Eve, Bedlam Theatre, 2-27 Aug, 9.30pm, £8-£10
