Edinburgh Fringe: Noted ★★★⯪☆

It is a brave children's show which starts with the song "I'm a smooth muthafukker"… This is sort of a live-action XKCD cartoon. A frenetic troupe of performers are decked with hand-drawn portraits and then… well, it is somewhere between a Sesame Street animation and the stick-figure kung-fu Flash animations of yesterday. The whole design is technically impressive. An endless stream of paper litters the floor as the cast rip them from their bodies to reveal more underneath. I found it enjoyable enough for an early morning show - but the children around me went bananas for it!
