Comprising five female circus performers with a palpable sense of camaraderie between them, YUCK have mastered a set which dazzles the audience with their extraordinary strength. This circus has a spiky feminist edge to it as they confront portrayals of menstruation with a comedic tone, these women always having the best time on stage.

In some routines they take on a caricatured embodiment of toxic masculinity as they assert themselves by flaunting their power and fake bulges across the stage and into the audience. When they take it in turns to share seriously cringeworthy pick-up lines while one performer hammers a nail into her nose, not all goes to plan: one performer can’t deliver her scripted pick-up line because she has a laughing fit, and the nail needs to be re-inserted. Rather than ruining YUCK’s flow, these mistakes only emphasise the solidarity between them, and the audience are fully onboard.

Unfortunately, there is a solo routine which doesn’t quite have the same impact as one performer exhausts the concept of absurdity through song. Overall, YUCK lay on a wildly entertaining Fringe show which will have the most prudish of audience members cheering them to the rafters.

YUCK, Assembly George Square Gardens, until 28 August, 4.20pm.
