A sketch comedy group without a difference, The
Span broadcast their début Edinburgh show this summer. Having performed in and around
London as individuals, they formed from a communal lack of worldly intention and resolved
to introduce the public to their collective, warped imaginings in the form of creative,
intelligent sketch comedy.
In a previous capacity, they have been described
as having 'a real talent for making people laugh...Expect big things.' - Three Weeks.
Buzzing with energy, wit and a preponderant sense
of funny, the show is a powerful sixty-minute blast, flicking through the channels of the
comically absurd, the divinely surreal and the downright mirthful. It offers an eclectic
variety of sketches for the comedy connoisseur, ranging from infantile forensic artists
and over-ambitious book illustrators to literal metaphors and heart-attack-inducing
surprise parties.
Your four hosts, keeping the show's power chord
firmly in its electrically hazardous socket are Will Jennings, Joel Phillips, Edward
Rowett and Richard Soames, each well-known for their obscurity.
Short Intention Span has every intention of
rousing laughter, however short it may span. Tune in and pay intention. |
