Can you truly say you’ve been to a Fringe theatre show until you’ve encountered a dancing urinal? Readymades is a bizarre show, a mix of overhead projector cartoon work and prop comedy that tells a completely incoherent tale about a runaway toilet.

Professional clown Levi Meltzer and puppeteer Sam Berlin have teamed up to tell this rather odd story, which is really a collection of fun skits, mild audience participation and at one point, potential cabbage juggling. It really is a mixed bag of madness, but all the more delightful for it.

This is a fun show, that’s just a little bit too cheeky to be accessible to kids, which is a pity because this is literally toilet humour, something beloved by the under-12s. Though slapstick and cartoons aren’t everyone’s cup of tea (or indeed, porcelain bowl), this is a superbly performed, if frankly weird, show.

There is some potential mild mess, so bear this in mind if you’re sitting at the front.

If you like to claim you’ve seen it all, then you really need to add ‘dancing urinal’ to your collection of experiences.  If you have fond memories of comic books like The Dandy or The Beano (or even, to some extent, Viz), then this will tickle your brain in a rather pleasing sort of way. It’s also nice to see an overhead projector used for something, given that the poor things have been made rather obsolete by PowerPoint.

A strange, fun, but very entertaining experience.
