The Cringe Factor is a comedy revue at Maggie's Front Room, presented by Laughing Horse Comedy and featuring Vladimir McTavish, Ian Fox, and comedy guests. The two presenters dig up the cultural debris of yesteryear, dissecting the cringe-worthy, the mind-boggling, and the downright bizarre from history that should have stayed buried. Expect sharp wit, awkward humour, and a no-holds-barred excavation of the cultural graveyard. The show runs for 60 minutes and is recommended for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
McTavish and Fox have the chemistry and the self-awareness to make nostalgia genuinely funny rather than just indulgent. If you enjoy sharp, digressive comedy about the recent past, this is a relaxed and witty hour in a welcoming venue.
