And The Devil May Drag You Under

Desmond O'Connor and Pustra/Vile-een's Vaudeville

I've often wished that I had the power to decide whether the Fringe acts I saw should go to Heaven or Hell, and at last, here is a show which allows the audience to do exactly that! The Devil, in gorgeous eye make-up, invites you to vote on acts in his cabaret and then nearly steals the show with his own turns on the ukulele. Performers included a beatboxer, a comic magician, an extremely talented harmonica player/percussionist and a comedian. A mixed bag in every way, but the stronger performers made the whole thing worth seeing.
