Fringe review: The Burton Brothers – Tinseltown
Slick Hollywood spoofing from a confident sketch duo with star potential. ★★★★
Climb the Hollywood Hills and make your way to this sharp, entertaining duo sketch-comedy. As far as new shows go, Josh and Tom Burton bring wit, class and a playful irreverence, with plenty of laughs cheekily aimed at bazoongas. But don’t be fooled: beneath the playful humour is strong comedic timing and a clear mastery of their craft.
The pair have absolutely nailed the Tinseltown vibe, bringing characters to life that feel both familiar and freshly twisted with their own distinctive spin. Most of the characters are fully formed, taking centre stage with confidence and keeping the audience entertained and engaged from start to finish. It’s exciting to see this show in its early stages, and you sense it will build and tighten further, delivering bigger, punchier laughs with every performance.
So grab your shades, strike a pose and head for the Hollywood sign. The Burton Brothers are ready to roll out the red carpet of laughs, and trust us, you don’t want to be the only star missing from this Tinseltown takeover. Clever, confident and full of charm, go see it… before the paparazzi do.
