Nye and Duncan live in their dream house. They sing songs and play together all day with their best friend, Radio. Everything's alright!

Choo Choo! was the best thing I saw at this year's Fringe. It was so refreshing to see a show on mental health which didn't feel heavy-handed or clichéd, yet still came from the heart.

The humour was spot on and I'm pretty sure the song will be stuck in my head for life.

Hope this tours as I've been preaching about it to all my friends back in Manchester!

Completely blown away by this show. It will take you on a journey from start to finish, with both bizarre-but-hilarious parts, and thought-provoking, emotional sections. A real gem to have seen at the Fringe this year.

This show is just out there. It has no description. It takes you on the journey that you never wanted, and returns you feeling blown away. 100% fringe-worthy

FAVOURITE FRINGE SHOW!!! We loved this show so much, I laughed the whole way through until I cried. SO funny, with all the lightness and darkness of life wrapped up in a beautifully hilarious story of friendship and love. I forgot where I was.

Beautifully conceived, produced and performed production. Heartwarming and engaging, dealing with an emotive subject. We laughed, we cried and more importantly we talked about challenging subjects when we left. Perfect fringe experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
