This show was absolutely fantastic. I cannot stop laughing throughout the show. I would come again if they have a show next year. Thanks!

It's really a super fun show. The plot design is exquisite, easy to understand and interesting. The two actors will especially drive the atmosphere of the scene, and the scene is very lively. I really want to give a big compliment to both actors: you guys have amazing control over your body! I've never seen a stairs up and down performance as good as yours! This sequence of you going up and down the stairs really stunned all the audience at the scene! I hope to see more wonderful performances from you in the future! I look forward to seeing you in Edinburgh next year! I will also travel to Japan in the future, and I hope to have the opportunity to see your performances at that time!

Totally brilliant. Not only are these two actors extremely gifted physical theatre artists, but they have a fantastic gift of playing with their audience that keeps them engaged and in stitches.

Fantastic comedy duo! Comedic timing is brilliant - physicality and facial expressions is marvellous and funny. Great visual show (with no words) so deaf audience can enjoy too. Top work guys!!! All the best for the rest of the fringe. ありがとう

This is a show for the whole family, and one that is very silly, very charming and frankly unforgettable.
