Dead End Job

Really funny, enjoyable and super cute show!
Hilarious characters and great writing, the premise sounded already ridiculous and adorable and I loved the end result!
Eddy was definitely a highlight and who wouldn’t love to have a kinda entitled, little bit dim-witted, but ultimately very lovable and super supportive 18th century himbo lord as wingman?

Great job! It’s your last chance to see this fun and farcical romp today. Kind of a weird premise but definitely one to watch. Don’t miss out!

Loved it ! Laugh out loud funny , great acting, and wonderful energy and enthusiasm . With a “ Flabber gabber” good performance by Inigo Chrisp

What a great way to spend 45 minutes of the afternoon, watching this gloriously funny, clever and witty piece that had me laughing from the outset. The acting is great, comic timing was spot on, and the writing is very tight. The excellent tech too, with sound effects and music, meant that the performance ran really smoothly. Too often I've been at shows where this has been the let down - it stops the pace of the piece. Not so here - which shows how well it's been directed too. At the performance I was at the venue was full and the audience loved it, many getting to their feet to applause this lively, innovative bunch! I particularly enjoyed the energy of this piece and just who doesn't love a series of puns about ghosts?

Disappointed. I know it was meant to be a farce but it was very loud and shouty and not very funny.

What a wonderfully wacky show! I honestly think that’s the most I’ve laughed thus far on this visit to Fringe.

I was almost taken aback by just how well-written this show is. Tabby Ewing’s script is original, hilarious, and crafted. It takes a simple idea and runs with it, often in a number of unexpected left-field directions that somehow just seem to work. It’s irreverent, off-beat, and endlessly energetic. Oliver Shortland’s direction has also ensured this a tight, polished production, where every beat lands. I don’t usually expect to see this level polish from a student production but this show most certainly has it. The voiceovers and little jingles are a delightful touch, and really add something to the already kooky atmosphere.

It’s also served well by… Read More:

A story about love and ghosts with lots of laugh out loud moments and good acting. If you want an hour of absurd comedy and a feel good ending you will find it here.

This is a really sweet little show, with a strong premise and some laugh out loud moments.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the ending as I think it was nice for nice’s sake, and I think there could have been loads of interesting ways to end it, but I legitimately enjoyed the show, found myself laughing out loud and it was lovely to see a really full audience too.

I’d say it’s a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars, and with a little more thought around the ending, and last 5 minutes of the show, that could easily shoot Up. Definitely worth checking out if you have a spare hour.

Great premis and love a parody on the afterlife , but unfortunately this lost its way. A couple of laugh out moments , acting was really good but story was just a mish mash, so much promise and I don’t think it delivered. Seems like a bunch of the audience really enjoyed it , not sure if those were friends or genuinely loved it maybe I missed something in the story.
