Brighton based comedy dance duo, The Two Wrongies, divided critics in Edinburgh last year - earning both glowing and baffled reviews. Our write-up from Mathilda Gregory was firmly one of the former, and we cannot wait to see this twosome again.

Calling them comedy dance is accurate, but may conjure up less than appealing images. Trust us, there is nothing to fear; the Wrongies don’t miss a single step, as they create something genuinely very funny and innovative. There are cringeworthy moments, sure, but they are never unintentional. And they get naked; but don’t be fooled, the Wrongies are like no naked dancing ladies you’ve ever seen before.

And the best news is that Brighton Fringe is getting a double dose of wrongness this year, with a reprise of the hit World of Wrong joined by this chance to relish some new material, in a scratch performance of Cult of Wrong. To make it even more perfect, both shows take place in the Wrongies’ natural home - The Nightingale.

It’s clever, technically brilliant and occasionally beautiful.  Even if dance isn’t usually your thing, cast your worries aside: the Wrongies are a definite festival highlight.
