Comedy Review: Róisín and Chiara: Get Nupty, Heroes @ The Hive, Edinburgh
One of the cult, word-of-mouth hits of last year’s Fringe, Róisín O’Mahony and Chiara Goldsmith return with a more thematically-defined hour, which nevertheless remains one of the most dream logic, stream-of-consciousness reflections on love that you’ll ever see.
Róisín and Chiara: Get Nupty, Heroes @ The Hive, Edinburgh * * *
With their intuitive rapport and vivacious, in-your-face performance style, the pair take the cliché of a double-act being like a marriage and push it to extremes. Once again, the highlight is a bickering middle-aged couple considering drastic action to spice up their relationship, the laughs chiefly emanating from O’Mahony’s aggressive bourgeois tones and the fact she’s wearing a wolf mask.
Róisín and Chiara still beguile and intrigue, but they haven’t progressed with this love letter to love.
