Also there as judgeand awarder of the comedy prize is Sean Sullivan, comedian who hasalready made it big and sneers at those who havent. For anyone who liked Book Club,Green Wing, Nighty night or The Office, this will be treat. It has great of newer faces butalso fine performance from that old hand, Clive Russell. This is current, British, cringemaking comedy at itsmost extreme.

This is rumbustious, rollicking, Altmanesque view of EdinburghFestival and the comedy fringe. This is current, British, cringemaking comedy at itsmost extreme. As Sullivan puts it we are engulfed by comedy Thenohope performances include onewoman Dorothy Wordsworth actcomplete with daffodils,Lyndsey Marshal, the inevitable, rarelysober, Irishman Chris ODowd, the paedophile priest Clive Russell,and the Canadian troupe lodged in an upmarket mansion occupied by adisconnected wealthy couple totally fazed by the birth of their firstchild.

Skillfullywritten and directed by Annie Griffin, it is welcome change from theHollywood gloss.

There are some hilarious scenes, with selfcentredcomedians comediennes unable to think about anything but their comedyact even when performing sex acts and lots of one liners whichguarantee plenty of laughs and an overall cheery feeling despite theunderlying despair.
