Adelaide Fringe. The Royalty Theatre. 7 Mar 2014
The Kransky sisters are back at the Royalty with their unique brand of macabre humour. Their new show ‘Piece of Cake’ has similar themes to their others, following the sister’s travels and life stories and interspersing it with the covers of well-known songs.
This sisters gave us their take on numbers such as ABBA’s ‘Money, Money, Money’, Beyonce’s ‘All the Single Ladies’, as well as some AC/DC. Not all of the covers were new for the trio, having been previously performed for television, but seeing them live was a real treat.
The capacity audience loved every minute of the show, once they got over the cramped crowding situation in the Royalty’s foyer beforehand. A highlight of the show was the celebration of Eve Kranskys birthday, when 2 unlikely audience members were plucked from their seats to participate in a musical number onstage. Donned in the infamous black and white polkadot blouse and pleated black skirt the audience participants, Greg and Jacob, soon became favourites of the love starved sisters too – parting with a hand shake and a kiss proving too much for them!
This is reliable comedy, where what you see and what you know is what you get. This act has endured because it is wholesome character based comedy and because the performers are exceptionally skilled at their craft.
If you’ve ever found a Kransky skit amusing – you’ll love watching them live.
