Fringe Review: A Bad Taste Show

Five black stars on a white background, typically used for ratings or reviews.

A Bad Taste Show serves up a riotous sketch comedy feast that’s equal parts irreverent, absurd, and unexpectedly sharp. With a cast of four—Jim Glaister, Corrinne Strickett, Poppy Lowles, and Aaron “Skip” Bartlett—the show barrels through a buffet of characters, from despair-shop clerks to dominatrix parents, each sketch more unhinged and gleefully inappropriate than the last.

The writing is punchy and fast-paced, with standout moments like Glaister’s “despair shop” and Lowles’ Margarita Mum drawing belly laughs and audible gasps. Props are minimal, but the transformations are vivid—thanks to razor-sharp timing and physicality that keep the audience hooked.

It’s not for the faint of heart or the tastefully inclined. But if you’re craving comedy that’s bold, bizarre, and unashamedly messy, this is one to gorge on.
