We Are Klang, Tron Theatre, 15 March

absurdity on a par with early 90s Reeves and Mortimer

Article by Emma Ainley-Walker | 11 Apr 2007
Greg Davies (like a fat Giles from Buffy) Steve Hall (a poor man's David Baddiel) and Marek Larwood (a damaged adult baby) are the self deprecating trio more commonly known as We Are Klang. Nominated for various Fringe awards, the gang bring their show to the Glasgow Comedy Festival to spread their misplaced and ill-judged love. Klang's irreverent lunacy takes the form of songs and sketches, which their anarchic stage manner prevents from falling into an ordinary sketch show format. With guitar in hand and "we know a song about that, don't we?" style, Davies, Hall and Larwood could be mistaken for three kids' TV presenters on a bad acid trip. Their absurdity is on a par with early 90s Reeves and Mortimer - with a lap dancing horse and the literally arse-faced Gary Mabbot as just some of the belly laugh inducing characters. This is humour at its stupidest and most sublime. [Emma Lennox]
