Listed in the programme as The New Show, (because of course acts put their entries in the programme at the end of the previous year, long before the subject of this show became headline news) Post Office Scandal is the Socks' 13th new hour long comedy show, following such Edinburgh Fringe hits as Socks Do Shakespeare, Socks Do Superheroes, Eurovision Sock Contest, Boo Lingerie The Socky Horror Show, and Minging Detectives.
The show has already proved controversial, with some online commentators suggesting the subject matter may be in poor taste. Barbara on Facebook writes:"Those involved had their lives ruined, a few were even driven to suicide So what's so funny about that !!!"
The Socks are keen to reassure fans, who they hope will be selling out the Kayal Upstairs venue at Leicester Comedy Festival, that they will be handling the topic in the best possible taste. Anyone who remembers their past songs and sketches, that have dealt sensitively with everything from Brexit to the sexual politics in Shakespeare, and from The Bechdel Test to racial stereotypes in Eurovision, will be prepared for the Socks handling this with the delicacy and gentle touch you'd expect from a man with socks on his hands.
Scottish Falsetto Socks New Show: Post Office Scandal The Musical is at Kayal Upstairs, Charles St, Leicester as part of Leicester Comedy Festival on:
