2013 Edinburgh Fringe

5 star show, great performances, made me laugh and thought provoking as well. Wonderful sketches particularly the policewomen and Flip Webster's Italian chef. Don't miss it!!!

A thoroughly enjoyable show - inspiring wry smiles through to full belly laughs - strong writing and performances - a must see for all audiences - not just for women of uncertain age!

It's women behaving badly, often very badly. There's more than a nod to Wood & Walters in this sketch show about the issues facing older women. Flip & Maggie are experienced and very funny performers, and though the changes between the sketches could be tightened up, there's lots of laughs here, even for a man. While much of the humour is very broad brushstroke aimed at familiar targets - Flip's massively over-endowed Nigella, Maggie's belligerent but enjoying every minute-of-it granny, there's serious thought in the writing which stays with you.

Is there life over sixty? Maggie Bourgein and Flip Webster give us a strong sketch show packed with a passion and energy for Post Menopausal Woman. Watch out for the pathos and poignancy of 'getting the almost retired woman back to work'. Maggie's 'A Change of Diet' is as beautifully balanced as the observation of her restaurant menu. And 'Flipissima' - a sensual approach to the kitchen - had us rocking with laughter in the aisles. (Soon to be performed as Best of Fest.)
If you are in Edinburgh rush to Gilded Balloon Teviot at 2.30pm any day but Thursday. Women of an Uncertain Age.
