This show was recommended by another show we saw and what a recommendation. So clever and silly and so so funny. Might be our favourite show of the fringe.

The most unique and entertaining comedy show I've seen at Fringe (or anywhere for that matter). Masterful use of crowd work, A/V, and surprises to keep the audience laughing and engaged from start to finish. Book your tickets before they're gone!

Great energy, though a fair few of the jokes fell flat and the support act interrupting tended to kill the energy and goodwill built up.

Brilliant! Absolute mayhem for an hour. I've been to lots of shows at the Fringe over the years and this is up there for the top entertainment show I've seen.
Make booking a priority.
