Two Hearts: We’re Pregnant And The Baby Is Music ★★★☆☆

Two Hearts are certainly an acquired taste, to put it lightly; they can be a shock to the system if you aren’t expecting such a tongue-in-cheek show. Co-written and performed by partners Laura Daniel and Joseph Moore, their personas can be a little grating at first, but they win over the crowd by sheer force of personality. By the end, this comedy pop duo’s crude entertainment has the whole audience roaring with laughter.

Their back-up dancers, as well as their outfits, are incredible; a particular highlight is the costume for the Great Pacific garbage patch, as well as the ‘fat pants’ which are hugely relatable for anyone who experiences PMS. However, the dialogue between their song and dance numbers (inspired by the likes of Dua Lipa and Taylor Swift) can sometimes feel redundant due to a lack of narrative arc.
Littered with references to NFTs, OnlyFans and Johnny Depp, Two Hearts try hard to respond to what’s current. Their ironic lyrics swing between hilarity and downright obscenity (a brilliant song about the gender pay gap is shortly followed by one which shockingly refers to a new-born baby as a ‘fugly slut’). While their satirical edge isn’t especially sharp, they make up for it with genuine comedic chemistry.
Assembly George Square, until 28 August, 8.50pm.
