That having been said: have been hearing about Idiots of Ants for a while, and finally saw them last night on their tour- fun, definitely. They used a big screen for "action replays" and things- it worked best in a Wii swordfighting sketch, I thought- and had lots of running around being silly, well-planned callbacks, and quite a bit of interaction with the audience; nothing earthshatteringly innovative (I liked a half-time commentary where they pointed out that "IoA are playing the typical 'four middle-class men' formation for a sketch show"), but it had cheek and charm. Would certainly see them again.
