If you have not used Gaydar, or Fitlads, or any of the gay dating equivalents, then you'll have very little idea what this gay sketch show is about. On the other hand, if you do, you'll get the joke very quickly. There is some very strong material here, deftly performed by some great looking lads that slip in and out of characters and sketches effortlessly. Indeed, as an audience member in the Pleasance Courtyard remarked afterwards, "Unless your taste buds are completely shot to buggery, you'll fancy at least one of them."

Perhaps the script does need a little tweaking here and there. Perhaps an hour is a tad too long to focus on what is essentially one joke, all be it a good one. If the clearly talented writer and cast had taken the piss out of the wider gay experience, they would surely be on to a real winner.
