Description

One-part sermon, one-part purge, three-parts party. House of Life is a travelling musical cult collective hosted by the RaveRend, with one mission: to get you happy, at any cost. A space to celebrate. To elevate. To lay out your shit and wash it away. The chance to achieve absolute euphoric togetherness through the relentless powers of music and vibes. Made up of alumni of the BAFTA-winning Television Workshop, Sheep Soup are back at the fringe following five-star smash hits Mrs Green and The Invention Of Acting. ***** (Metro). ***** (EdFringeReview.com). ***** (BroadwayBaby.com).

By a mile, the best thing I've seen at the fringe! So good I have actually been to see it twice and I enjoyed it just as much the second time! The "RaveRend", Ben, and Trev are a wonderful duo, so funny and talented. I've had their songs stuck in my head all week. Couldn't recommend this more!

The best thing I think I have ever seen. The musical talent was unbelievable. The comedy and timing spot on. The improvisation and interactivity worked so well, I was 100% in and so was the entire audience. And to top it all, the message was incredibly powerful and uplifting. I want to hang out at every party with these two!

House of Life is THE happiest, most uplifting show at the Fringe. Unlike anything else I’ve been too, it mixes music, comedy, and audience interaction (in a very safe and welcoming space) that is guaranteed to leave you feeling amazing!! Couldn’t recommend enough. See this show to feel great about yourself!!

Loved it! So much fun and very different to anything else we had seen. Ben has a great voice and his 'able assistant' Trev is a very talented musician. A must see for Fringe!

Absolutely Brilliant. Saw them on Wednesday night & we laughed our way through it. Trevor is the silent type with a quirky humour. The Rave himself was outstanding & the audience participated along with him. Once again don’t miss the show if ye get a chance to go. Rave on

Loved the show for its great positive energy and audience participation. Would have wanted even more signing by the reverend himself as he has a great voice and a little bit less of the "negativity purge" at the end. It left the audience a bit baffled for a while but did not spoil the show.

The most joyful show you could hope to catch at the Fringe. Go see this show, you will walk out feeling 2 foot taller and 100% happier.
