Dinosaur Planet

Show - Dinosaur Planet
Group - MJ Hibbert
Venue - GRV
Time - 12:00
Tickets - £5

Well, first show of the Fringe and where better to start than with a musical about space-dinosaurs? In honesty, probably elsewhere.

The two performers appear in front of a black cloth with dinosaur tshirts on and an assortment of props on a table. They rattle through a tale of dinosaurs from space attacking the planet, adopting personas by adding a hat or wig and singing merrily throughout. However with almost no movemnt around the stage the show is relient upon its
lyrics to draw you in, and try as they may, these two could just not make the show funny.

They try hard, but unfortunately te whole show falls pretty flat, with some songs having pretty much no relevence, and very little being very funny. With an adaptation to the lyrics to make them a little less full of difficult words, this would probably make a fair kids show, but as it is it's just a couple of unhatable blokes trying too hard.

2/5
