Bridget Christie – The Court Of King Charles II

Underbelly

****

A bit of a hidden gem this one. A surreal hour of 17th Century based comedy, performed in a cave – only at the Edinburgh Fringe. Christie is a likeable, playful comedy actor who delivers beautifully timed quips, with a cheeky smile. Charles II, Nell Gwynne and Guy Fawkes are all strongly presented as comic caricatures, but it was her Oliver Cromwell that had me falling about.

To be honest, Bridget isn’t really a stand up comic at all, but an actor who can do comedy really well. This helps to deliver a much more complete experience than merely watching a person with a mike telling jokes. Highly recommended.
