Fringe Comedy -Bodaceia Brilliant and Ivanna Vavavoom; review



Super sexy Superspies by Linh

The world is soon to be a safer place from mass consumerism and crazy commercialism if Bodaceia Brilliant and Ivanna Vavavoom get their way.

In a funny, original and innovative production fusing music, comedy and sight gags, Samantha Culshaw (Bodaceia) and Judyth Satyn (Ivanna) portray the Russian Superspies in disguise who create useless anti-products in an attempt to wipe consumerism off the planet. They have orders from the 'Boss' to rid the world of greed and start the revolution to fight consumerism.

Bodaceia Brilliant and Ivanna Vavavoom On A Mission is full of high energy physical expression, weird accents and colourful costumes which the girls quickly change into on stage as part of their performance.

Highlights are the extraordinary products the pair create, including the Bubble Bum Gum (that literally gets blown out your nates) and the cleaning suit with the scourers strategically placed where the female erogenous zones are ("It makes cleaning so sensuous and sexy!").

The show is well staged as a secret hideout office and makeshift product testing lab.The lighting and music selection are appropriate with some ripping rapping from rap artist Cyril Hot, played with great gusto and radical appeal by Samantha Culshaw.

It's one of the most hilarious and fabulously Fringey shows; unconventional, cleverly devised and all in the true spirit of the Fringe Festival.

Bodaceia Brilliant and Ivanna Vavavoom On A Mission is at Higher Ground (Projection room) until March 24.
