Sardines

A very well rounded, silly, annoying, hilarious performance. The venue is intimate and only adds to the comedy.

The two lead actors play off each-other very well and feed into each others performance. I really enjoyed their dynamic.

I feel the narrator/stage hand actress’s role did not allow her to shine in the way she obviously can. She did the best acting she could with a bit of a naff role. I would love to have seen her given actually funny characters, not just annoying ones. She’s clearly capable of more (albatross moment)

Sound guy was funny, he had a funny face.

Overall I really enjoyed it. Would love to see more.

Super fun absurdist comedy, go and see it!

Absolutely brilliant.

This is a 5 star Review. This show is very clever and funny demonstrating very good absurdist comedy. It uses clever techniques of involving other people in the show . The stage hand who has many other parts is outstanding.
It has pathos and irony all together.The 2 poets are brilliant.

A very witty take on sacrosanct literary tradition. It helps to keep it alive too, doesn't it? Nice to know the reason the albatross was shot. At last!

I loved this show. Truly inventive, slick writing, funny and a great team of performers. Unleash your inner Romantic poet and come and have a good laugh at this hilarious hapless quest.

You never know what you are going to get at the Fringe and this show is a real winner! Laugh out loud funny, fast paced dialogue, brilliant acting and some great special effects. Blank Slate Ensemble are definitely one to watch.

A hidden gem of a show. I laughed a lot. Great performances and some clever writing and direction. What a treat. Go see - you won’t regret it!

Brilliant, laugh a loud funny, best thing I have seen at the Fringe. Loved the twist at the end, talented team, 5 stars.

A hilarious, moving piece about a love/hate friendship between two poets. The trust between the company was wonderful to watch and made the piece flow beautifully, we loved the set design, the use of voice over (especially a certain helicopter accident) and the effortless comic timing!

This show is bonkers in the best way! The irreverent caricatures of a high'n'horny Coleridge and his exasperated bestie Wordsworth are rounded out by a supporting cast of an incredibly committed "stagehand" and a tech that just seems happy to help with whatever needs doing. Laugh-out-loud funny.

Wonky and zany and lots of fun! Never do they drop a beat and always keep you engaged. Comedy and history mixed with more then a dash of Monty Python. You’ll walk away holding your sides from laughter.

Sardines may not be everyone's favourite, but make this show a 'must see' on your list and you'll be a fan of Sardines forever! This small, energetic, talented, committed (and they should be!), hilarious and intelligent group of individuals will have you rolling in the aisles as much as they're rolling in the waves. They truly deserve to go further than their inflatable and will hopefully last longer than the unfortunate Albatross!

The funniest thing we’ve seen at the Fringe, extremely well written play with witty, rambunctious acting and an unexpected twist. You will not want to miss this gem!

Very funny show. Very well written and understandable even for french people :). We spent a very good evening!

This was brilliant, funny and fast paced. You are in for a treat make sure you don’t let this sardine get away.

Amazing show. Incredible!! 2 thumbs up! I didn’t expect enjoying any show as I did with this one. I TELL YOU THE BEST YOU CAN VISIT IN FRINGE

Amazingly funny show - such high energy and great story-telling. We loved all the actors, especially the “stage hand” character!

Great cast & an intimate venue. Totally original & bonkers comedy! You will be crying with laughter! A must see!!

This is a wonderfully silly piece of bonkers! Great performances from everyone. Absurd theatre at it's best.

Thoroughly enjoyed show worth a watch great cast intimate venue makes it feel personal

Horrible Histories on crack.

5 Stars

Inventive, funny, witty, crazy, fast paced work by a talented team. Expect the unexpected! A great piece of absurd theatre, not to be missed!

Walked in not knowing what to expect, left laughing out loud and booking tickets to see it again! A show that reminded us exactly why we love absurdist theatre - anything can happen! A brilliant show with a gripping cast. Pure talent, 100/10!

Very sharp, very tight, very funny. A well constructed comedy that never flags and delivers all that it promises. You will not regret the hour you spend with this very funny troupe.
