Ern and Dave of Sparring Partners celebrate their 10 year anniversary as mates. Thank God they met and decided to put together a comedy duo (dubbed Elbowskin) because this year’s show is better than ever.

With a mix of music, skits, multimedia projections and jokes, it could easily fall in a heap but this experienced team effortlessly pulls off a hilarious hour of laughs.
The show is perfectly balanced and the second you’ve finished laughing at the last song, there’s something new to watch on the screen. Before you’ve recovered, Elbowskin bound back on stage to knock you out with more.

The highlight is the musical comedy’short, clever, sometimes twisted songs performed so enthusiastically that you can’t help singing along if you’re not laughing so much.

I didn’t want to do the comparison thing. It’s too obvious, but I can’t help it. Think Tripod, and then think Dave and Ern of Elbowskin. They are just as good…seriously.

Although it was the opening night preview and it wasn’t a sell out, it didn’t matter to the boys. They clearly loved being on stage. The hour passed so quickly that I wanted to see them again and again; it’s that kind of show. Make sure you see them before ‘Sold Out’ appears on their posters.
