Janet review

Any fears that alternative comedy is on the wane can be laid to rest with Janet, the tale of a headstrong lump of uncooked dough.

Brighton Fringe review: Janet

If someone had told me that my favourite show of the Fringe this year would be about a 1.5kg lump of dough called Janet, I would have thought they'd completely lost it. Turns out I was wrong! If you can imagine Charlie Brooker being commissioned by Disney, this is what you'd get. Congratulations to Helen Ainsworth and John Mowat for this triumphant performance; tears of laughter are still rolling down my face as I write this.
