Comedy preview: Tommy And The Weeks, Edinburgh

The secret to a good double act is contrast. In layman's terms it's the straight man and the funny man, but the greater double acts add another layer to this, with the straight man being as funny as the funny man. Tom Bell and Ed Weeks (AKA Tommy And The Weeks) may become a future great British double act, carrying on the tradition from where other greats such as Morecambe & Wise and Reeves & Mortimer have left off. An odd couple, Ed Weeks is the dapper gent who could very well have picked Tom Bell up for 50p in the Stoke Newington Oxfam store on his way home from a champagne breakfast at Claridge's. This probably didn't happen, but if it did, he got quite a bargain, as their latest Edinburgh Fringe offering Powershow! indisputibly proves.
