Samantha Baines and Helen Sorren are a funny and engaging comedy duo and it is not surprising that they are gathering a fanbase. Their comedy relationship reveals itself to be very competitive throughout the performance. This may (will) involve some audience interaction to help determine who get to wear the superhero pants at the end of the festival.
Out There consists of some competitions, a little individual stand-up from each lady and some more fun and games. The comedy isn’t as challenging as the title would suggest, and it’s not terribly hi-brow, but it is a fun and goofy hour of entertainment which will leave you with a smile on your face. One of the duo could possibly be stalking Brian Cox, but I wouldn’t wish to point fingers. Oh, alright, it was Sam. She even tried to learn some science just to impress him. It doesn’t seem like it’s all sunk in yet, though.
If you’re looking for an hour of fun and silliness, with a few high kicks and a bit of friendly chat from some talented up and coming comedians, then book a ticket for this show. Bring your dancing shoes.
Note that they are playing in Just The Tonic’s The Wee Room, which is through the same entrance as The Fancy Room, but the sign advertising this is hidden under some overhead flower baskets. The room is up a couple of flights of narrow stair and round some sneaky bends (I think you end up under the road somewhere) and it’s a little whiffy. Apart from that, it’s an excellent venue.
