Quite brilliant. I totally agree. The freshest thing around in Oxford comedy and a million miles from the usual clunking student comedy. I LOVE them. NOW Re: Ernest. Why, why, why is this 'are men funnier?' debate tediously trotted out so often. No-one questions whether ALL men's capability of comedy when a man's joke falls flat (which is often at all manner of comedy nights), so why not leave your prejudices at the door, embrace the imaginations of all who dare and in future post something more inspiring.

However, you have to ask - how long will they keep this routine going? Are there any changes in the pipeline? (I have seen it twice; the first it was the funniest thing I have ever seen, the second was a little variable. The reason it was variable was not the routine, but the Imps themselves: there was a rather dodgy girl who hogged the limelight and wasn't really very funny. Provokes the broader question: are men funnier in this sort of thing than women? Controversial!) Overall, your reviewer is quite right - they are generally superb - but one has to ask questions about the future - these guys may be capable of much much more.
