Belle de Beauvoir and Pete Saunders in a naughty, irresistibly fun show. It's hilariously burlesque-y, bluesy and may look improvised, but is carefully crafted and completely different to any other show. Unapologetically naughty with original songs and inappropriate, unlikely covers. There may be guests, but it's daylight, so we aren't promising anything, but according to a Scotsman, it's: 'The best show in Edinburgh!' Playful debauchery and contemporary wit. The ultimate hangover cure or just a wonderful 55-minutes of entertainment.
