Very silly and very very funny. The show moved like lightning but never felt rushed, and the two performers (and not forgetting Irma, of course) did incredibly well at bringing to life a wide range of characters. Truth be told I didn't keep up well enough to know quite what was going on but between well-timed sound effects, excellent use of a torch, and very well choreographed dance and puppetry, I was mesmerised right through.

You will have to stay focused to follow this fast moving, witty and hilarious show featuring slapstick, shadow storytelling, tango and tangles, and yes..Ballet. Two of the brightest comics I have seen, don't miss this one!

Absolutely fantastic - couldn't stop laughing. Funniest comedy I've seen since the days of Monty Python, The Young Ones, et Al. This American group has taken bizarre British humour and made it their own. Out of the 20 shows I've seen so far at this Fringe, this show ranks in the top 3, and is easily the funniest.

The SMU Reviews (4.5/5 stars) 38 days ago

Chaotic, anarchic and utterly insane, Crap Ballet is a surreally hilarious experience from start to finish.

Fernyhough Arts Review (4/5 stars) 38 days ago

A slapstick cartoon come to life, blown to bits by TNT and crushed with an anvil. Crap Salsa cannot come soon enough. Let’s dance.
