Great fun! Alex Farrow is hilarious and really gets the audience involved. I learned something and I laughed. Couldn’t ask for more! Will definitely come again.

I've enjoyed this show a few times whilst in London, so was glad to be able to catch it at the Fringe. Each show has a theme, and it is admirable that those involved are able to put together a whole set on that topic. It's like the stand-up part of Mock The Week, but a constructed, thought provoking set rather than cobbling together their best jokes on the topic.

If you enjoy philosophy AND like to laugh, this is the show to see! When one can engage in critical thinking and laughter at the same time, it's enjoyable!
