Another great show from Samantha Day. We saw her for the first time at the Fringe last year and so our expectations were high! She did not disappoint.

The most laughs I've had at the fringe and the rest of the audience were enjoying it too. Star prize goes to Samantha Day for creating great fun, lots of laughs, fab competition. Loved the concept and the props. Going with someone you know, especially if they're a partner or relation makes it even funnier.

Laughed so much, I nearly wet myself ( I'm a Gen X woman, so should have been prepared!)
Samantha had the audience participating and enjoying the show from the first line to the last - the competition between the generations was fierce, but friendly.
What a great show! Highly recommended.

What a show! Consistently on theme, hilarious mix of observation comedy and audience interaction makes it not just a great show but different every night depending on who is in. A very clever set up, weaving a gameshow format with a polished routine, definitely one to catch. Go Team Gen X!

What a brilliant night - Samantha was constantly hilarious with her routine and working with the audience. Her observations on the generations got perfect reactions from the crowd and the atmosphere fed on itself. Just great fun.

Samantha is very engaging and her humour is infectious. Clever “game” scenario between the ages. From baby boomers to Millennials. Non stop fun and gags. We all loved the show. Recommend 5 stars.

Just brilliant. Thought provoking, irreverent and very. very funny. Sam has captured the absurdities of our generational divides in a warm hearted but caustic way. Highly recommended.
