SAMMY J & RANDY
BIN NIGHT
La Cascadeur
Garden of Unearthly Delights

Til March 13th.
Sammy J and his felt faced friend Randy (Heath McIvor) have delivered one of the best shows of the Fringe with Bin Night. So much more than a stand-up show its combination of comedy, songs, slap-stick and theatre is break-neck fast, smart and really bloody funny. Sammy J and Randy are out to catch whoever it is from their neighbourhood who is putting stuff in their wheelie bin on Bin night. They examine the suspects profiles (including some fantastically funny cameos from McIvor), and rehearse the reaction times to the arrival and identification of the criminal (council by-laws are not to be messed with) Impressive use of their simple set, and a rapid fire delivery of quality gags and story are absolutely world class. McIvor’s skills as a puppeteer in bringing Randy to life are incredible; creating a well rounded and nuance enhanced personality to the puppet. These skills have seen him work with the legendary Jim Henson Company and deservedly so. Masterfully written, spectacularly performed this run of Bin Night has routinely been selling out, but extra shows have been added – you won’t be sorry.
