Way back when, Rob Brydon’s feckless chauffeur character Keith Barret had a relationship-counselling show on the Fringe. In his dealings with his guests, he hit on a winning formula: piss-take disguised as solicitous concern. Ronna and Beverly (alias US comics Jessica Chaffin and Jamie Denbo) are up to something similar. They are Boston Jewish matriarchs, here to promote their book for divorcees You’ll Do a Little Better Next Time, and to grill on-stage guests about matters of the heart. If the guests don’t instantly want to marry and make babies, Beverly – two pairs of glasses competing for space on her face – wants to know why.
