Little Squirt is a pun-filled one-man musical comedy cabaret by Darby James. Comedic and heart-felt, this show is a real highlight of the Fringe.
In what originally appears to just be a silly comedy about one man's experience of sperm donation quickly develops into an exploration of ethical dilemmas around reproduction and questions whether selfless reproduction ever truly exists. Darby James handles this delicate issue beautifully, weaving vulnerable and comedic moments together to create an unforgettable show.
The songs are the real highlights of the show. We are treated to sea shanties, ballads and earworms a plenty, with some opportunities for audience participation where desired.
Darby James has created a thoroughly enjoyable show which I would most certainly recommend.
