With a tone that feels like Thank God You’re Here or Aunty Donna, Business and Pleasure uses the simplicity of clever humour and great cast friendship to create an hour of absolute hilarity. Sketches touching on the egotistical fishing goals of a man emasculated by his inability to catch a cod and a French bedbug that just want to be loved fill the show with the nostalgia of high school drama class: it’s fun, it’s silly, it’s playful and innocently joyful. Business and Pleasure captures something uniquely Australian, flavouring Adelaide Fringe with a sweetness otherwise missing among the high-flying circus shows and stunt choreography. They may be playing in an intimate venue this year, but that won’t last long once word gets out. If you want to laugh, giggle and gasp Business and Pleasure is your show.
