The Scotsman

Manic, shouty and at times creepy but it’s a joyful miracle for youngsters

-

House room wrap around you.

With a mix of sweetly basic graphics and rumpled backdrop, turbo charged with a performanc­e that could melt sheet steel, accessoris­ed with crazy props and peppered with songs, Show Up Kids kicks absent diva Sally The (Gluten Intolerant) Silly Songwriter into touch, takes over her show and lets the eponymous Kids make up the whole thing.

There is great (and some creepy) clowning, spikey asides for the ‘rentals, a shark and some trampolini­ng, a Toilet Festival and an interrupti­ng rubber chicken. This is classy stuff. It takes us 16 minutes before poo is even mentioned. But remember, Peter is a properly trained profession­al. Please do not try this at home
