OLIVER & ZALTZMAN

John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman, fellow stable mates at Avalon, have been ploughing the same furrow for a few years now, and indeed have been making special guest appearances in each other’s solo shows, so it’s not surprising that they’ve finally come to their senses and put their combined forces together to form this show, the immediate winner of Best Title For A Show this year. A two hander from these performers is something a girl can only dream of, and this year they’ve made it a reality. They’ve been predicting the end of the world for various reasons for a while now, and it’s nice to see they’re both still chewing over the same problem. Alongside their show at the Pleasance, they’re also presenting an ever changing nightly political show at The Stand, which means a double helping of the Oliver/Zaltzman action for anyone who needs an extra hit.
