I don’t wish to leave a negative review but perhaps we just saw them on an off day, or maybe I wasn’t that receptive, but it felt like a 5th form end of year comedy show. I couldn’t fault their energy and enthusiasm but this one wasn’t for me. Sorry.

Blink and you’ve missed something . Non stop . It had to be to fit in the 69 sketches. Great energy from the crew to keep going for an hour . A lot of laughs

Fitting 69 sketches into an hour is no mean feat, but that's exactly what Biscuit Barrel is able to successfully do. If you lean more towards slapstick comedy, this show is absolutely for you, but can be enjoyed by all, with laughs packed throughout.

I love watching this show, I've seen them before here and most of their sketches make me chuckle. A few belly laughs here and there too. The speed of delivery is so brisk that sometimes I'm still digesting the content of one gag and then we're onto the next one already! I will definitely see them again either here in Edinburgh or hopefully near to where I live.
I would give them *****. That's five stars, not a swear word.

This show was pure chaos, with 69 jokes/sketches being weaved together during their hour (+10 mins!) performance. Musical jokes were their strongest, but they did include a lot of popular culture jokes within their set. Really ambitious to try and fit 69 sketches within an hour, maybe slightly too ambitious.

I've tried to see the show twice and missed out because they were sold out... Lucky to catch them today! What they achieved in an hour was TOTAL madness, but somehow seamless and very professional? A very fun and silly show; I laughed for the whole 60 minutes. Thanks guys!

Fast paced slick delivery of very funny sketches. Very different from anything I’ve seen before. The energy of the performers is impressive. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Seemed to appeal to pensioners and teens alike.
