I'm still confused about the title of this show: apart from the two minutes of Blair Witch Project video at the beginning, and the themed crossword in the programme, there is no reference to The Exorcist or indeed Exorcyst, at all. But judging by the rather shambolic nature of the ensuing sketches, perhaps that’s a good thing... There are some good, even brilliant, flashes in this production, but there are also some moments which made me want to gouge my eyes out with my biro. Firstly, don’t look for any discernible thematic thread to tie these sketches together, because if anything, the only consistent feature is their complete and utter randomness.

You will see La-La tell Po to get a grip, the Go-Compare man getting shot, two lifeguards leaving someone to drown because she’s "rank" and two boxes having a conversation based on increasingly dire cardboard puns, amongst other equally inexplicable things. Now random isn't necessarily bad, but the first half of this show is often painful (it’s never good when audience members don’t even bother to whisper the words “what the hell?”). It looked at first as if cast members were quite literally making it up as they went along, which made for some very uncomfortable viewing.

As the cast gathered confidence, the sketches got quicker and slicker, and although the laughs were often veering towards incredulity and bewilderment, they were an improvement on cringe and more cringe. Hooray for Andrew Melville, who was consistently hilarious whether deadpan, silent or half-naked. Oh alright: yes, he has a very tasty torso. The farcical songs were amongst the highlights: Conkers instead of Dizzee’s Bonkers, The Fireman Song and A Whole New Girl were my favourites. Despite some vocal wobbles, the songs did allow for confidence-building as the laughs got louder, and were some of the best displays of comic writing in the entire show. The standard of comedy displayed from the sketches varied, veering from the wince-inducing (what on earth was the RAG blind date sketch about?) to out-of-the-blue funny, the strength of which often lay in the brevity of the pieces, leaving the audience puzzled but wanting more.

Overall, performances needed to be more convincing from the start, rather than inflicting torture on the audience for 20 minutes before gathering momentum rapidly towards the end. If all else fails, do the crossword until they hit their not-perfect-but-still-quite-entertaining stride.
