An appetite for alternative fun

Pot Noodle, The Musical
Assembly Rooms, George Street

YOU know when there's a song in your head and you just can't shift it? Pot Noodle's We're Taking The World And We're Making It Better is there. Not even humming the Balamory theme will shift it.

Nippy? Yes. But also a wonderful reminder of the hidden delights in this eccentric little whodunnit.

There's trouble at Noodle Farm when universally loved Pot Noodle owner Barry Little dies and his evil brother takes over the company, running it into the ground. It's up to the lovely Sandy to save the day.

Funded by Pot Noodle's advertising company, the show has been created as an advert for the nation's favourite snack in a plastic cup, but that doesn't mean it is without artistic merit. It's also an uplifting hour of alternative fun, with possibly the best mourning scene ever staged on the Fringe.

All together now, "We're taking the world and we're making it better. . ."

Until August 25
