Expect 'witty smart but dumb' jokes (Chortle), 'exceptionally written material' (Theatre Weekly) and 'above average backstroke for his year group' (Charlie's swimming coach).

Great show, easy to recommend. Good sketch/character comedy, lots of nice individual jokes, wider structure, and delivery. And the two members are clearly really nice, engaging people to boot from briefly chatting afterwards.

Fantastic zany theatre, plenty of funny one-liners but clever and structured too. Highly recommended.

Oh my gosh these guys are so funny. I still can’t tell you what it was about exactly but it was clever, creative, and all together good fun. Clean. Silly. We’re on a marathon seeing everything we can. This is our favorite show so far. Mixing media, sound effects, and some surprisingly clever scene changes. I give these guys five stars. You can pay after the show and it’s definitely worth it.

Wacky and full of energy from the word go. Really well thought out and performed. I really laughed at all the characters. It definitely wasn't cobblers.

Had lots of promise but not my thing. Just a little bit over acted and not really my humour!

To be honest - we’re weren’t actually sure what we were watching and the humour just didn’t tickle our funny bones.

A wonderful, and very unrated show! These gentlemen have all the enthusiasm, and deserve all the applause!
They’ve got a little bit of everything, and it’s a refreshingly comedic take on the Chat Show format…
