Comedy review: Lords of Strut

Half Moon Theatre, Cork

Playing the fame game is the theme of Chaos, the new show by comedic double act, the Lords of Strut. Best known for their dance routines and impressive acrobatic manoeuvres, their latest show has a narrative structure.

Directed by Pat Kiernan, it combines slapstick and acrobatics with parody. It’s got shades of classic double acts such as Laurel and Hardy with Cian Kinsella playing the gormless Sean Fantastic while Cormac Mollally plays Famous Seamus, a larger than life character who thinks he’s an operator.
