Incredibly fun (and also terrifying) show that had me wiping away tears of laughter. Docherty is a brilliant performer and amazingly engaging - I couldn't look away. The show was really well written and full of twists and turns, just when you think you know where it's going, it spins on its heel. I loved this show and would absolutely go again.

I have never seen anything like this, i never want to see anything that isn’t this. Whatever this is, it’s correct. GENIUS. FIVE MILLION STARS!

My partner and I both absolutely loved this. Lots of belly laughs, unpredictable but wildly hilarious humour and some genuinely terrifying moments. An absolute riot of a show. Andrew Doherty's performance deserves all the praise it can get, we stopped seeing him and saw all the different characters he was playing.

Excellent performance from the main actor. Would have loved for the main character to come across as a bit more sympathetic to get on board with his journey from the start, and to understand a bit better what his goals are. Interesting concept and lots of gags.

A total tour de force with Doherty bouncing around the place breathlessly relaying this character comedy about a mark looking for love and finding himself embroiled in a Satanic birth ritual. A camp, irreverent Rosemary’s Baby, and the comic absurdity of it, along with the solid storytelling structure and commitment to genuinely aggressive soundtrack and bloodletting into the horror aspects, made it a lot of fun.

I’ve seen about 35 shows at fringe now, and whilst they were all good this was my favourite. Entertaining story with hilarious scripting and acting, had me laughing non stop.
