[Fringe Review] The Tom Tom Club
* * * * *
The cliche of so good it’s impossible to describe is never more apt than in The Tom Tom Club. Think of it as a modern day ‘urban circus’ and you’re close to what’s on show here. From a record scratcher on the raised podium at the rear, to a human beat-box, by way of a mad drummer that puts Animal in The Muppets to shame and four of the most athletic (and well toned) gymnasts at the Fringe - mix that together with a slice of showbiz and you have one of the most entertaining hours that is possible to find at the Fringe
It’s such a high energy show that the audience, even with a huge range of ages and I suspect musical styles - were clapping, cheering and dancing away in their seats. I honestly believe that if this was in an open venu, or a nightclub there would be a lot of dancing going on.
It’s a wonderful display of human skill, all round, and I dare you to come out of the show without a smile on your face, and the beat spinning round your skull.
