On Saturday night i went to see the Little Britain Live show. For those of you that aren’t familiar with Little Britain, it’s a comedy based on a number of different characters played by Matt Lucas and David Williams. Both of them fitting the roles and switching between them so seamlessly.
Having watched the Little Britain show for some time, the opportunity to see them live was fantastic, as not only did i get the chance to see the characters that I’d laughed at for so long, but also the people that created the characters as they let their true self come through at times, moving in and out of script.
Most of the skits and characters are based around homosexuals and cross-dressers and take things to another level of humour. These guys have little to no shame and that’s what makes it such a hilarious comedy. I won’t say too much about the live show in case you are going to see it, but expect audience members to be picked on in ways that would not normally be accepted.
The set was cleverly designed and the change over between characters and setting was really well done. The Australian shows, in particular the Brisbane ones sold out very quickly and required extras shows to accommodate the the high demand. So if you haven’t got your tickets you won’t be seeing them. If you do have your tickets however, you’re in for a great show.
Two thumbs up!
