“Fast paced, weird and EYE loved it’

Grubby Little Mitts directed by Jon Gracey running at Assembly is full of unexpected takes and weirdly wonderful quirks.

The duo sketch team is made up of Rosie Nicholls (News Review) and Sullivan Brown (No Rolls Barred) who have an immediate warm and likable energy. Introduced miming to a song the audience are clear of their role from the start, to laugh and enjoy.

During the intro song the stage is adorned with small props (which are utilised throughout) and a very versatile Chez Long. The props are simple and smartly incorporated, often used to promote the sense of a scene.

Over a whole range of sketches we see recognisable situations which include coffee shops, dates, retreats and relationships. All navigated and punctuated by a blast of music.

Rosie and Sullivan make the transitions between scene and character look effortless with a joyous energy throughout. Their connection and skill is obvious as they transition between each weird and wonderful idea.

Director Jon Gracey has pulled the best out of a creative duo which pushes their weird and creative sketches to a hilarious climax.

A definite easy watch and perfect for sketch lovers looking for a fix.
