THE LISTIES: ICKYPEDIA Fart gags and messy fun from the dynamic duo It’s just as well Matt and Rich have arrived at the Fringe armed with toilet paper guns, because as always with these two, the toilet humour comes thick and fast.
In the best tradition of comedy duos, Rich is the straight man to Matt’s relentless silliness and ineptitude. Both win a place in our hearts – Matt for his boundless enthusiasm and love of body rolling, Rich because he has to put up with him.
In a bid to broaden our minds, Rich has brought along a dictionary – but much to his disapproval, Matt hasn’t done his homework, keeps farting and, shock horror, has made up his own words instead. Cue lots of inventive word play, plugging the gaps in the English language with new inventions such as ‘spewtiful’ and ‘fartle’ (you’ll have to see the show to fi nd out what they mean).

Squeals of delight from little ones accompany each burst of silly string from a can or fake wind from a bottom; grown-ups chortle at the less obvious gags – but much of the time we’re all laughing at the same thing during this hour of ridiculous mayhem.
