I sit down to write this preview in the full knowledge that my opinion is in no way important. I am therefore one of the more honest reviewers you will find on the internet. I am here to tell you about an awesome show that is coming to Edinburgh this year called “James & Amy: Dysfunctional Legends” and stars the amazing comedic talents of James Loveridge and Amy Howerska. The show will take place at the Jekyll & Hyde, Venue 249, 112 Hanover Street in Edinburgh and the show takes place from 10:35pm to 11:35pm. For tickets you can call the venue on 0131 255 2022. Now let me tell you why you want to see this show.

Let me tell you all about the two fantastic acts that make up this duo of….some amazing word I can’t think of right now. Or Amy…a..zing even. No? Probably for the best. Let’s start with Amy Howerska. I could spend ages telling you about her many competition accomplishments like being a finalist in the 2011 Up The Creek one to watch or a Semi finalist in the Leicester square New Act of the Year or how she won the 2012 award for welsh wizardry. I might have made the last one up. I could tell you how she’s been a promo writer for Law & Order, House and Burn Notice. And no Burn Notice was a real show I didn’t make that one up. Google it. I could quote reviews that say things like ”Charming Welsh live wire” London Is funny or “Witty and intelligent observational humour, beautifully delivered.” Creative Cows Comedy Club or “man she is so awesome her stuff is so clever I really enjoyed that” which was said by…hold on just let me check…that was said by….oh yeah that was me. Amy Howerska is as funny as she is smart and is as smart as she is beautiful and is as beautiful as she is funny. I think I’ve made my point. Now to the second part of duo who is in no way Robin to her Batman. Why would anyone even bring that up? That’s a ridiculous thing to say. James Loveridge is not Robin. I’ll tell you all about him now ok if you can stop labelling him as the sidekick. Good.

James Loveridge is a comedian and because I am lazy I am just going to quote from his comedy CV “In his first year he made the Semi-Final of ‘So You Think You’re Funny?’, won The Comedy Cafe New Act Night on his first attempt as well as beating the King Gong at The Comedy Store in Leicester Square. He is the resident compere of The Lions Den Comedy Club in Piccadilly and his debut Edinburgh show ‘James Loveridge and Other Losers’ was met with excellent reviews.” I would be a terrible journalist/writer, which is what I am but still, if I didn’t quote one of those reviews “James is an animated story teller; an entertainer. His jokes and asides are self-deprecating and sharp, and delivered in such a manner that makes it difficult not to laugh along.” and that review comes from www.edfringereview.com. James Loveridge is a winner, James Loveridge is a man who beat up King Gong and took it’s lunch money, James Loveridge is a man who taught himself how to do a handstand. This is not relevant to his comedy but it is a bit of trivia I know about him. James Loveridge is a name I like to say and a name I like to type. It sounds like the online handle of someone who is way too into Klingons. But that’s not important and I don’t think my private life has anything to do with this.

I should talk about the show now. But I’m not going too. That’s what kind of crazy, maverick previewer I am. I’m just going to tell you to see it. If I talk about it I might spoil it and I do not want to do that. I can say that it rocks like that boat but is in no way rubbish like that film about said boat that was rocking. If you are going to Edinburgh then you must go and see it. However if you are not going to that place at that time then I have another suggestion for you lovely people.

You can see their awesome show in London before it hits Edinburgh. How is this crazy yet amy…a..zing piece of news possible I hear no one ask? Well I will tell no one. You can see it at the Hen & Chicken on Saturday June 16th at 7:30pm. That’s right and it’s only £6. You can’t have any fun in London for £6. No that’s not true you can, you can see this show! You can book now by going to http://www.offwestend.com/index.php/plays/view/7952

I will leave the final words on the matter to laziness and quote the “about Dysfunctional Legends” section from the above link “James Loveridge and Amy Howerska, have tried to be good humans…but have failed- excellently. Join them in their celebration of breathtaking ineptitude, because you too could be a dysfunctional legend!” and if that doesn’t make you want to see this show then you’re not a legend and you never will be.
