Any Objections?

Imagine if KT Tunstall and Bo Burnham had a baby and signed it up for harp lessons, that would describe Scarlett Smith.

I went to see "Any Objections?" without any knowledge of the show other than the fact that she played the harp on a loop deck and she was a comedian.

Smith comes onto the stage in a space themed jumpsuit and instantly mesmerises us with her skillfull playing. She has a sense of cheekiness to her with a smirk that tells us she knows something we don't know. We go with her through an hour of standup, music, and comedy sketches.

This is no classical music show though, as we go through Jurassic Park wedding marches, Taylor Swift and Linkin Park mashups, to hilarious harp sound effects!

As amazing as the show is, I feel transitions could be tightened a little. However, that is the only critique I can really find for this show.

I had so much fun, and I really enjoyed the fact that it was something different to the overload of standup shows you will see at fringe!

Smith is a massive talent, and I predict more than wedding gigs for her harp playing in the future!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

"Any Objections?" runs at studio at C ARTS | C venues | C Aquila for the duration of the fringe!

I hope you all see some brilliant musical comedy, and I hope you all have a fantastic fringe! 😁

Love,
