As a straight man heading into Warehouse Theatre to watch new gay comedy Relax, I must admit I wasn't sure what to expect.

Robert Farrar's play was my first experience of gay theatre and I wondered if I would stick out like a sore thumb with my girlfriend in tow but I need not have worried.

The audience had more straight couples in it than gay and the play was good enough for you to forget any sort of inhibitions or doubts you had and instead just sit back and enjoy.

Set in the Gemini Lodge Guesthouse in Weston-Super-Mare, the play revolves around owner Sandy, who takes much pride in his little bed and breakfast but gets rather over friendly with his male guests after too many sherries.

The next morning he refuses to admit what he has done and instead blames it on his made-up-mentally-handicapped identical twin brother Jimmy (the scene where he pretends to be having a shouting match with him is particularly funny).

James Holmes does superbly as Sandy and is backed up by the rest of the cast who put in impeccable displays after admittedly shaky starts.

Tony Bluto was nervous as houseboy Bijan and seemed to forget his lines in the first scene but grew in stature and confidence as the show went on and became the best character in it.

Credit should go to Nadia Kamil who was excellent as the slightly crazy Marie-Claire and brings about a plot twist you really don't see coming.

If you are worried there may be too many gay jokes or scenes for your liking, don't be.

Admittedly, there were a few references to things I didn't understand and one scene might make you a little queasy if you are squeamish about feet but there is nothing to make you feel uneasy and the funniest are part of the play (about the metrosexual mechanic's dead mother) was pure genius.

If you like a laugh and fancy trying something a bit different then I would definitely recommend Relax.
