Tina C's Twin Towers tribute

Is this show an affront to all that's right and decent? Hardly. Drag-act country superstar Tina C's show is not about the politics that led up to September 11 or the people who lost their lives; it's about America - 'but most of all, it's about me,' Chris Green's rhinestone diva emotes, before singing Kleenex For The World - an inspired depiction of showbiz self-importance masquerading as compassion.

Short of performing in front of a banner saying 'This Is An Attack On Sanctimony, Not Legitimate Grief', Tina could hardly make her intentions clearer. She performs from the album 9/11:24/7, her attempt at a Candle In The Wind-style tribute that'll win back a dwindling fan base - unforgivably, she was unconscious, recovering from plastic surgery, on the big day.

This is a superbly realised creation: her plastic smiles recall Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie, her amiable arrogance recalls Dame Edna; but the sexualised portentousness is her own, capable of swatting hecklers and conveying satire in the same breath. The songs, though, Kleenex aside, are rarely as good as their titles suggest: beautiful musically, tight lyrically, but lacking a killer punch.

So the Twin Towers Tribute is a fascinating kettle of fish that doesn't always come to the boil. About half of the show is more generic Tina C material, too - good stuff, but you want her to keep to the topic. Still, even if it's a great idea only half developed, it's to be cherished for having a mind of its own. Oh, and great legs too.

Until Aug 26, Pleasance, 11pm, £9 to £10, £8 to £9 concs.
