"So funny you'll think they're men," reads the blurb for this duo's return to the Fringe after a four-year hiatus. Since their 2005 performance of Penny Spubb's Party, Anna Crilly and Katy Wix have been busy appearing on TV – Crilly’s highest-profile role being Magda, the deadpan Eastern European housekeeper in Jack Dee’s BBC show Lead Balloon, while Wix landed a part in sitcom Not Going Out.

Now the ladies are back with more character-based silliness, and will be hoping to repeat the success of previous visits to Edinburgh, which saw them nominated for a host of awards. Highlights include two myopic women from the Midlands attempting to explain what’s on the box; recovering alcoholic quizmaster Alistair Parry; and Mamma Zucchini, worth seeing for her baggy tights alone.
