Rramp is compulsory viewing for fans of the inimitable Kransky Sisters, iconic kids show Fluff, Pianissimo and Decent Spinster and anyone else keen to see what happens when animations, storytelling, dance, romance tea parties and pet chickens are combined.
All of this boils down to the work of three characters – Christine Johnstone the obsessive collector of things in jars and tax returns and electronica band founder, Lisa O'Neill as her much shorter assistant and dancing archivist and Peter Nelson the Electrocrat, third band member and person who helps her to sift through her collections and collate 12 years of tax.
There's no point trying to make further sense of it other than to say this is a work of comic genius that is as good as it gets.
