It includes political satire sketches, impressions, and songs all of a topical nature. So topical are some of the sketches, Toby Hadoke informed the audience, some material had to be scrapped as they were no longer valid as the news and events had overtaken them! It all makes for a very fresh comedy experience.

Performing in the basement of the Comedy Store, it was a sell out and it won't be long before they move up to the main stage. The fan base they have deservedly built up, plus the word of mouth that is spreading across Manchester makes them a hot property. It's simple to see why their audiences are growing. The sketches come thick and fast and some are hilariously genius quality, especailly when the five members of the group (comics Alfie Joey, Toby Hadoke, John Warburton, Pete Slater, and actress Helen Copley) gel really, really well and the chemistry is fantastic.

Highlights of this night were the George Bush and Arnie Schwarzenegger Show, Linda Barker's Dalek agent, Pete Slater's Pizza Boy From Hell song, and the sparky Fundamentalist Radio, where John Warburton and Toby Hadoke were fighting over lines. Hats off also to the astounding impressions from Alfie as Michael Winner, Bruce Forsyth and Joe Pesci The only criticism of the URS is that, at times, they are a little too much like five individuals, letting the chemistry lull, and that made some of the sketches below their capabilites of five star material. This show was the very best of URS and also marked their first birthday. As time passes, it's almost certain the chemistry will appear in every single piece of work. |
