In an intimate setting, the comedic musical styling of Hooray For Everything really hit the mark. Their show Accept the Taxi Drivers delivers an enthralling set of satirical songs in three-part harmony.

Matt, Phil and Stevie D all have excellent voices in their own right, but their harmonising adds another element to the songs, almost to the point where the audience forgets that they’re listening to comedy. That is, until they’re met with yet another series of witty punchlines.

The performers work very well together, even if their timing isn’t always spot-on. That somehow added to the fun of the show. The lads kept the mood light-hearted and fun, building up an excellent rapport with the audience.

Hooray For Everything focussed many of their songs on political issues such as the environment, terrorism and global warming, but at the same time put their own unique twist on them. Their tune outlining how ‘fat kids’ could help global warming was a good example of this. Away from politics, the ‘Biscuit Song’ was a standout with a very clever play on words.

The balance between the political and non-political makes Accept the Taxi Drivers a show that I would recommend to all audiences. Those who follow politics, but can also have a laugh about it, will enjoy the show. Alternatively, those who don’t like politics will have a great time learning from Hooray For Everything’s warped take on it all.
