I have been meaning to write this post for the last week and have finally gotten around to doing it.

A week ago I went to the Civic Theatre in Chelmsford to see Fascinating Aida, a singing comedy act made famous on YouTube because of their song Cheap Flights, all about budget airlines (although probably more so RyanAir).

The evening didn’t start well. The police had shut the main road through Boreham which meant I had to go via Little Baddow and had to run the gauntlet of the Army and Navy roundabout which I really didn’t want to do. I hate being late and so started to panic that I wouldn’t be there on time. Got there about 10 mins before curtain up – not enough time for that leisurely drink I was planning.

I was going to the show with some in trepidation.  Although I love the 2 songs I know of, Cheap Flights and Dogging, I was wondering if they would be the highlight and the rest of the show would be below that standard.
I needn’t have worried!

The show used topical news and general life stories, the first song being about Companies Utilising Nifty Transaction Systems (I think) – work that acronym out for yourselves!

I spent the whole evening laughing with tears rolling down my face. I would happily go and see them again. Very clever songwriting, very funny, and you should all go and see Fascinating Aida. They are touring now!
