Edinburgh Review 3 – Das Vegas

Frank Sanazi’s Das Vegas Four: Zis Time It’s War – The Voodoo Rooms (Venue 68)

After another successful European tour, Frank Sanazi’s comedy-cabaret war machine rolls into Edinburgh, accompanied by his psychopathic daughter Nancy Sanazi, Saddami Davis Jnr, Dean Stalin and recent dictator Putin A. Bootin, as well as other outrageous acts. Frank offers a Vegas-style evening on his terms. Audiences will be spellbound as he swings such classics as Third Reich and Mein Way. Expect a night to remember. Not for the faint-hearted, but resistance is futile. ‘Brilliantly stupid, fantastically wrong and ridiculously funny’ (Scotsman). ‘Comedy gold’ (Evening Standard).

Okay.  Ooookay, there is no way of claiming this one isn’t an acquired taste.  It’s one for the broadminded, definitely.  Broader than Dartmoor.  There aren’t many Frank Sinatra/Adolf Hitler fusion comedy/musical acts on the circuit, so it’s difficult to compare it with anything else but if your idea of a good night out is listening to someone singing “Seig Heil with Me” to the tune of “Come Fly with Me” then you’re in for a treat.

Other acts on the night were Osama Bing Crosby (“Arr-anged Marriage” to the tune of “Love and Marriage”), Sadami Davis Junior, Dean Stalin and a slightly odd Burlesque act seeming designed to sexually humiliate the poor sap she tricked into coming up on stage.

Still, it wasn’t me being humiliated so fuck him, quite frankly.

She came quite close, to be Frank.

To be Frank…  See what I did there?

Oh, please yourselves.

There was also character called Spliff Richard.  If you’re expecting me to give you any details on his portion of the act then good luck as I’m not going to get sued like he almost inevitably is.

He sang “The Young Ones”.  That’s all I’m saying.

I had nothing to do with it…
