Unlikely Friends takes the form of a structured improvisational chat show where two comedians are given a celebrity to research and perform as – at this performance the comedians were Australian Kirsty Webeck and the UK’s Elf Lyons, performing respectively as Phar Lap and Pegasus. Damian Callinan as moderator has a good ability to set a prepared path and to let the performers go loosely away from that, creating their own goofy personas with a firm bedding. It’s a clever concept that plays well, with Lyons particularly enjoying the chance to give Pegasus lingering trauma from the usual stuff that most Grecian mythical figures go through and Webeck giving Phar Lap a gently supportive manner, and the trio play well together. Apparently the intention is to let these run as a podcast, and it’s the kind of thing that would work well as a comfy set of giggles.
