When told I was seeing Busting Out, I thought I would be watching either a live performance of Prison Break, or a flashy comedy about breasts. Thank goodness it was the latter.

Busting Out is a spirited, uplifting (pardon the pun), hour-long boob show. Bosom buddies Bev Kellick and Emma Powell (both more than amply endowed) perform a series of sketches with the main stars being their breasts.

From the opening “little titty ditty” the audience is drawn in by the girls’ warmth and matter-of-fact manner. Emma and Bev make their breasts do all sorts of things they weren’t designed for – pouring ‘large nips’ of spirits, singing ‘Mamma Mia’, making the Batman signal… it’s all very entertaining, in the same vein as the male counterpart, Puppetry Of The Penis.

I wouldn’t have thought breasts could be so flexible, and to a certain extent, I was right. Although very funny, cleverly prepared and perfectly executed, Busting Out is essentially a one-trick pony – if it was any longer than the hour, it would run the risk of repeating material.

Having said that, there were some memorable moments. Emma Powell showed us all what goes on under backless dresses by taping herself up and then asking an audience member to rip off the tape like a bandaid. Bev Kellick somehow managed to transform herself into ‘Meg the Mug with the Extra Jug’ (Jeg the Peg with the Extra Leg’s wife no doubt). And there were some very funny sketches of infomercials of breast products.

The girls have beautiful voices, and have cleverly manipulated songs such as 'Memories', 'Working 9-5' and 'Can’t Touch This' to refer to breasts. Their imagination was impressive – when were they ever in a situation where they used their breasts as a dish rack?

There is definitely a place for performances such as Busting Out – it’s not a turgid, epic, dramatic performance; nor do I believe that it makes any kind of feminist statement, but it is entertaining, amusing and performed with enthusiasm, which is a lot more than I can say for a lot of things that pass as entertainment these days.
