The act was twelve minutes long.
Stanley and Bourke perform an act written by Tommy Gray for himself and Bourke. The team sings and “talks” and pretends to be fired by the management.
An act like this which benefits from ad-libbing requires a team who is more acquainted with each other than Stanley and Bourke are. More camaraderie between the two would help the act become more profitable, because, at present, they just seem to be reciting lines. The act also needs more songs and a stronger finish. The hesitations should be dropped.
