The irrepressible Polly Filla transforms the black box that is Bats into a Symphony in Pink for her production, Kitsch ‘n’ Synch. Lip-synching to artists as fabulous and diverse as Joan Rivers, Liza Minnelli and Joyce Grenfell, Polly portrays a tale of the unravelling of the post war housewife from Doris Day to Desperate.

Besides being a fantastic night out, which could go without saying but oughtn’t to, this show is a trip through some excellent material recorded by the 20^th century’s greatest comediennes and chanteuses. And Ms Filla does every one of them proud with her larger-than-life enactment of the material, adding layers of performance that makes it all the funnier. Excellent work on the sound track too.

I am not sure of the etiquette around royalty: when Her Maj becomes Liz Windsor, and likewise when to address this stunning performer as Miss Polly Filla or Colin McLean. Polly is a phenomenon in her own right and on stage at Bats she demonstrates in this show why she deserves her legendary status. To Colin I give credit for her stunning wardrobe – pink all the way and worthy of one with such excellent costumier credentials.

For a bite, a lick or a nibble of pure, uncomplicated and dazzling entertainment, do put this show on your Fringe list. We are so damn lucky to have a show of such calibre on the Fringe circuit this year.
