Another excellent show put on by host Alex Farrow, his witty charm compliments his thought provoking material perfectly. The booked acts perform exceptionally with the crowd following along rather happily. One for fans of comedy and philosophy alike. His show is a must see.

Loved this show. Wasn’t sure what to expect, but this was thought provoking in a hilarious way. It was so good we’re now going to see the individual act of each comic. Great show.

A real delight- was not expecting one of my favourite things this year to be a comp show. Great quality acts, compered really warmly and thoughtfully by Alex Farrow- and when the audience did not have questions for the acts afterwards, Alex always had some really great thoughts and questions to draw the acts into something interesting and authentic.
Good way to spend an afternoon.

Stumbled across this show whilst waiting around before work. Fantastic and funny show, little different from the usual standup you'll find elsewhere. Not only are your comedians versed in philosophy or psychology but you can actually ask questions, cheaper than therapy. I didn't ask questions but I also refuse to admit I may need to help, don't be like me, ask questions.

Alex was an engaging host with some excellent material and I enjoyed both the additional sets despite the fact I wouldn't have chosen to see their material otherwise. I thought the comedy element worked well, however the philosophical element was fairly suppressed within the interview (although it was lightly present in the sets). Overall, the show was an enjoyable experience (although I wish we had had time to hear the entirety of the second set!)
