This character comedy and drag split bill consists of two work in progress solo shows: ‘Barry’ is a lovable elderly gentleman out on an adventure, and ‘Joni’ is a Finnish alpha-male about to play the hockey game of his life. Both combine clowning and physical comedy. So pull up your pants, as this upbeat, heartwarming spectacle in two parts promises to be an entertaining experience for all and may even sexually confuse the Dads.

| News and Reviews for this Show August 28, 2024 Squirrel Comedy | 3.5 stars | The two comedians, Lotte Allan (who plays Barry) and Susanna Pukkila (Joni), each perform a 30 minute character-based comedy play.Barry is an old man in London talking about his life and the people around him. He needed a lot of help from the audience (me) during the play. He is your standard crotchety old man, but one who has just discovered the joys of London’s Freedom Pass (free bus travel all round London). This was a fun act, but as I was on stage for most of it, I did feel I’d turned into a cast member instead of someone dragged away from their friends.Joni is an ice hockey player (I assume, even though she/he was on roller blades) who is retiring after this big match and wants to go out a winner. Lots of inspirational speeches to the team before the game (ie me and Lotte), and a bit of bribery to the referee (again, me), a couple of national anthem type songs, the game itself with all its ins and outs agressively acted by Joni on stage, and the big finale of drinking from the winners cup.A great show with lots of humour that deserves a bigger audience.
