The Life Sporadic of Jess Wildgoose

I was a big fan of this group last year so was eagerly looking forward to this new show. I was not disappointed as it contained all their trademark elements - wit, humour, narrative drive, invention, smart characterisations all wrapped up in sublime physical theatre. Although I didn’t quite get the ‘telephone conversation’, it was engrossing throughout. My favourite moments were the helicopter, underwater section and the frozen screen! These four performers (plus the excellent keyboard player) are on top of their game and this show comes highly recommended.

Honestly the best show we’ve seen at Edinburgh, mindblowingly creative, hilariously funny, and brilliantly acted, this show would give physical theatre Gods like Complicité a run for their money. Go and see it, you owe it to yourself.

The company worked hard on stage and gave 100% energy and commitment.But their naive attempt at picaresque failed. Having a female lead does not make for a feminist play - some very dubious plot decisions left a bad taste, they need to take more care, they have unwittingly signed up to a narrative that promotes misogyny and corporate greed and if they felt that they were doing the opposite they are sadly mistaken and should seek advice.

Brilliant imagination and fun with a straight forward strong biographic narrative. I enjoyed the most, that the performers truly being alive on the stage. I had a 'stage-crush' on them. Don't miss this piece!

Can't fault the efforts of the cast - clearly committed to physical theatre and worked hard throughout the performance.
The plot here is the problem. I felt like the play was trying to do a take on The Big Short but fell flat. Misogynistic undertones, jokes that did not work and a story that the audience just couldn't possibly get behind.
I couldn't enjoy the physical theatre the cast had worked so hard on because of the poorly chosen plot.

This group is fantastic !

Saw their other show and so had high expectations for this one - and it delivered !

Fun, impressive, enjoyable.

They run around like crazy performing incredible physical theater and then make it look like they are composed and collected and delivering quiet lines.

Superb performance and hope they return next year with more new stuff !

Went following visit to sister show ("Knew too much") & wasn't disappointed. Totally recommended.

Only challenge was that it was sometimes difficult to hear as soundtrack downed out the cast.

Really entertaining and cleverly constructed. Worth a watch...

Great job! Loved it.

A fantastic piece of imaginative and fluid physical theatre, with a nuanced, incisive narrative which balances subtlety with emotive setpieces and strong characterisation.
