What a great show! Great stories, learning and laughing with the little things happening in between. The submariner had a great energy and was very funny. I'd like to see more next time! A big yes!

We were a party of 7 and all thoroughly enjoyed this show. We were laughing and crying and learnt so much. We would not hesitate to recommend and it is one of our favourite shows this year. I know I will take the story of this show with me in my life. Thank you.

Really well done show about one chaps experience of Naval life, submarines, friendship, camaraderie, lads being lads and near death experiences. Learned a bit, laughed a bit and well entertained for an hour or so!
