Domestic Goddi

Domestic Goddi, the new sketch show from erstwhile 'Pick of the Fringe' Rosie Wilkinson and BBC award winner Helen O'Brien, is the comedy equivalent of the buffet at a particularly booze-heavy party – it's easy, light and sometimes extremely tasty, but leaves you craving something a little bit more substantial.

Made up of a series of “snapshots into the real lives of women” interwoven with some hilarious snippets from a fictional Barnsley radio station, the string that ties the whole confection together is the two performers' obvious distaste for the very notion of the 'Domestic Goddess'.

So we see a couple of teenage girls waiting to meet an older man that they've met online, a middle aged woman having a hair-razing encounter with an eastern European beautician, and a bride-to-be who is prepared to sacrifice anything to have the perfect wedding – even the groom.

Many of these sketches are laugh-out-loud funny, others gently amusing, and some just plain odd. One in particular, about a crazed Michael Flatley creating an army of riverdancing minions, seems several years past its sell-by date. But for the most part they all share a certain safe predictability that is especially frustrating since Wilkinson and O'Brien are clearly both extremely capable and versatile performers.

Billed as the world's first “anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle, anti-establishment sketch show,” Domestic Goddi is a lot of fun, and might take years off your life, but unfortunately it's about as anti-establishment as a prawn cocktail.
