Review: Double Denim

The Double Denim girls have made it to the big time: they’re contestants on a reality cooking program, The Hungry Games. They’re out to impress and show just how grown up they are. But can Cheezels really impress the judges when they’re expecting a gourmet cheese plate? 

Michelle Brasier and Laura Frew have worked incredibly hard over the last few years and their rise through the festival comedy scene has seen them build loyal audiences and reap notable awards. A Very Fancy Dinner Party sees them reprise some of their most-loved characters, with the high-energy pop style and charismatic stage presence they’re known for. But while each sketch shows great ideas, and we can see Brasier and Frew working towards another hit, there are kinks still being worked out and the narrative needs polish and cohesion. 

Despite this, A Very Fancy Dinner Party displays a chemistry between Brasier and Frew that's playful and which takes the audience along with them through every step. It’s always a joy to see a Double Denim show, even when it’s a little undercooked.
