The Lonesome Buckwhips

Last night I went and saw The Lonesome Buckwhips at The Classic.

They were great fun and really funny. They perform musical comedy and while some parts of their act need polishing, and bits just made me squirm, overall I had a great time.

The premise is we're watching a sibling band of three brothers and a sister who were all taught how to play music by their Uncle Fiddle.

Parts of the premise work really well but the incest jokes tended to grate a little to be honest, but overall it was funny - with songs like The Wahine was a Once Off and Santa, King of the Jews, it was pretty hard not to laugh a whole heap - and at $15 a ticket I'm hardly asking for my money back.

Totally worth seeing should you get the chance.
