My Brother and I are Porn Stars
Gilded Balloon

***

This show contains some brilliantly funny ideas and some seat-wetting moments. However, the whole doesn't seem to hang together, in a way that made me wonder if it had had to be cut to fit the fringe time demands.

The abandoned children of porn stars grow up and try to make a living of the only world they know. Hostility leads them to create Christian porn. And you're pretty vulnerable on a cross! Tampons have never been so funny, and I shall never think of Scouting for Boys in the same way again. I felt that the show could be even better, and that the extension into other characters and the baby section could be worked on. And the ending seemed oddly downbeat. But overall it was great fun, and you will risk incontinence if you go see it!
