Just about anything topical was covered – or rather uncovered – by The Treason Show team. Some cases were stripped to the core – literally, in an airport body scanner sketch, as writer/director Mark Brailsford got naked to remind us of what’s currently being revealed at Gatwick.

The performers confidently covered a whole spectrum from the trite and trivial to more controversial subjects including a female suicide bomber who doesn’t want to carry explosives hidden as extra weight on her hips. The wit never shied away from offending but avoided lapsing into vacuous bad taste.

Sometimes film clips were employed, as in a John Terry jibe, and an Arnold Schwarzenegger-style sketch about Toyota called Total Recall.

Blair Mansions involved former PM Tony not taking responsibility for washing the dishes, but managing to keep his hands clean, while David Cameron donning a dress to attract the “pink” vote demonstrated the satire’s politically non-partisan stance.

Local issues weren’t neglected either, as Brighton and Hove City Council was berated in the pothole-themed song Mend The Road T***.

There were a few slapstick one-liners, which received resounding groans, but Brailsford retorted: “Just wait, they get worse!”

This talented trio could sing well too, finishing with a West Pier-based performance of Move Over Starling.
