Besuited five-piece Casual Violence are the masterminds behind Om Nom Nom Nominous, a refreshed collection of sketches that gained them roars of praise from the reviewers at last year’s Edinburgh Festival.

As their name would suggest, the material is witty, irreverent and a bit perverse. Nothing’s too weird a topic, from scooping out eyeballs in sheds to the perils of stuffing dead relatives, and the gory unpredictability makes for a hugely memorable show.

The sketches are fast-paced and sharply delivered, with few props on a starkly-lit stage.  The Marlborough’s stage is pretty small and fitting five exuberant men onto it seems like a challenge, but it’s to Casual Violence’s credit that they manage the space well, particularly as they’re accompanied by a live soundtrack performed by Ben Champion on keyboard.

The Brighton Fringe curates dozens of comedy shows each year and the quality can be variable, but from the opening sketches it was clear that this show was going to be one of the best.

Casual Violence’s delivery is quite simply outstandingly good, with the rare stifled laughs and script variations from the performers revealing their natural comic timing and improvisation skills.

Brilliantly dark and genuinely hilarious.
