This is high-concept clowning, a brilliant farce about 'being a man' and the perfect antidote to toxic-masculinity. Three fantastic performers, an unlikely ensemble that had me enthralled from the beginning and in tears by the end. I gave this four stars (****).

Probably the best thing I got to see at the Fringe. Absolutely hilarious. All three guys are brilliant. Not even sure what genre this is but I know it's my favourite.

Late night madness. I couldn't get a friend to go because of the "clown" listing, but this is not a big red nose, custard pie and silly shoes clown show; the cast don't even wear shoes, which is about the sanest thing that happens in this madcap look into one of the strangest movements to have ever happened.
An absolute joy from beginning to sticky end.

This show is crazy and funny and clever all at once. My 17 year old son and I both adored it and will remember the lessons of Iron John for years to come ! Hoping to make it back fora second visit before the end of the run .

A must see for anyone that likes their comedy absolutely batshit crazy. Also features the first American to ever make me laugh in real life, 10/10.

This show was SO. DAMN. GOOD. An excellent performance that had the entire house laughing til we bloody cried. It was the funniest shit I’ve ever seen, and it also serves as a pretty solid commentary on 21st century masculinity. Fo yourself a favour and come see this show, these guys are spectacular.

This was a bizarre and hilarious show! I don’t know what I learned but I walked out happy.
