This is an example of a show that will suffer from being badly placed in the Festival Fringe brochure. Listed as a comedy performance, Peccadillo Circus is actually a piece of theatre and a very good one at that.

Roper has interviewed a broad cross-section of people about their sex lives, chopped up the interviews, edited them together and placed them on an MP3 player that she wears around her neck, listening to it through her earpieces.

That she is effectively listening to her lines should not in anyway diminish this as a theatrical experience. She repeats what is being said, every word, nuance, pause and stammer, allowing the people speaking to use her body like a spiritual medium.

While she speaks their words, she contorts into a caricature of them, every inch of her trying to convey something about the person talking. Her characterisation is very good - she becomes the elderly lady, the internet swinger, the dominatrix. Although she does struggle with the camp Californian, never quite convincing the audience of their sex.

This is Creature Comforts live and not to be missed.
