Ginger and Black, played by Eri Jackson and Daniel Taylor aim to be the world’s most morbid children’s entertainers.

Allow them to entertain and educate your children, and before long your young ones will be well-versed in death, S&M sex, and how to help a tramp.

The morbid twist on child entertainment allows G&B to embark on much more adult material which is accentuated by their sombre mood on stage.

Although some part of the show relies on stereotypical material, such as a father not liking his sons preference for dancing, the clever word-play and ever present dead-pan aura makes up for it.

As the show progresses you feel like you’re watching a fly on the wall documentary with Ginger and Black filling the roles of the agonisingly deluded and awful subjects.

So good they were at the act that before long no audience member would admit to having a child, niece, nephew, brother, sister, or any relation under the age of consent.

The character play is exceptional, with Jackson and Taylor managing to pull off what felt like two typical gap year twenty-something’s who have delusions about the extent of their own philanthropy and self importance.

Their real skill though lies in their delivery. Jackson doesn’t break character once during the set, often casting scouring looks towards the audience while reciting a well polished and convincing display of dead-pan humour.

An impressive hour of waxing lyrical about death, sex, and helping the homeless.

Ginger and Black is at 7:30pm at the Pleasance Dome, Pottersrow, until the 25 August.
