Two Hearts - Don’t Stop Throbbing

Two Hearts’ Laura Daniel and Joseph Moore have perfected the musical comedy formula. Between extravagant costume changes, interactive prop work and multimedia experimentation, they offer a collection of faultless comedy songs. 

Each one begins with an amusing and familiar premise, like the daunting tick of the biologiocal clock or the tropey desirability of a European holiday. Once milked, these premises are flipped on their head, with twists that I won’t spoil here, but are as unpredictable as they are dead-on in their indictment of our privileged modern existence. Their song about vegetarian evangelism had me, a pescetarian, questioning my own moral compass while gagged with laughter. 

Beyond impeccable songwriting, Daniel and Moore deliver beautifully moderated performances, that are musically impressive without being overly virtuosic. Unlike some of their peers, Two Hearts never fall into the trap of seeking recognition for musical talent over laughter. Daniels, in particular, demonstrates considerable vocal skill, but always prioritises humour. The result is a fantastically boisterous show with an unrivalled number of laughs per minute.
