He’s not in York, he’s not in Chester, he’s Sid Leicester. Old-age has not done anything to dampen’s Sid’s love of vaudeville, & has relaced his dead wife’s role in his double-act with his daughter, Valerie. From ‘Name that Tune’ to dodgy pensioner acrobatics, what follows is an utterly charming hour of light entertainment, delivered warmly by Sue MacLaine (Sid) & Emma Kilby (Valerie), two talented stalwarts of the theatre-scene. Their crowd interaction is the best of I’ve seen all Fringe, as they ply the audience constantly with wurthers originals. Both actresses shine in their roles & the ‘play’ is perfect for those wanting a laugh just after lunch. FOUR STARS
