The Funny Tonne

Brave and Bold

Brave and Bold

    

Douglas Rintoul's show Brave and Bold is the perfect combination of theatre kid zanyness, fast-paced songs and niche moments of sketch comedy.

Opening by revealing he cannot play piano and sing at the same time, Rintoul examines the concept of normalcy and what success is in the grand scheme of things. 

The lighting and sound cues are delivered in a highly rehearsed and effective manner, further heightening jokes and lines that are hilariously unexpected. 

Various references to the arts industry  are made throughout, specifically those to a certain Rob Mills's expense, but this is also very much a show that caters to both the theatre community and outside of it.

Brave and Bold is a very entertaining and enjoyable night of comedy, especially for the theatre kids at heart.
