Review – Pajama Party
Come to The Bally tent at Gluttony for a pyjama party! There’ll be pass-the-parcel, ventriloquism, charades, pillow fights, magic tricks and – oh God, what are you doing to that orange? Why would you… how could you? Oh Christ. Oh, the humanity!
Pajama Party is a light, silly little show about two super-cute friends, Sarah Jones and Nicholas Johnson, and their overnight hangs. There’s a little audience interaction, plenty of meta-humour – the fourth wall is referenced, as well as the the double act and foley technique –and an occasional turn for the dark; it’s all held together, though, thanks to the charming chemistry between these two performers. There were a few slow points in the show, but then it was a sparse audience and that’s never an easy handicap to work from.
Overall, this was a fun event with plenty of variety and originality on show. Would highly recommend it if you can get a group of your best friends along for the event, or if you can catch it on a busy night.
