Smart Casual: The Other Brother

Musical comedy duo Fletcher Jones and Roger David are so slick in their presentation that it's difficult to tell whether they focus more on the  comedy or the storytelling elements of their show. There's no doubt that they're great comic songwriters, but instead of trying to crowbar otherwise funny songs into a bland cabaret or stand-up set, these two comedians have created a full narrative that supports their hilarious music numbers. We're taken on a full journey: we learn about them, their idyllic early years and the bond that formed between these two astoundingly average half-brothers.  Then that evil bastard of a step brother comes into the equation, to mess everything up. Trials, tribulations and Chinese burns abound, and the audience loved every moment of it. Smart Casual utilise evocative storytelling to conjure up 90s schoolyard memories and cleverly make use of reminiscence as a launching pad for uproarious laughter.
