Audience Feedback
“Brilliant tour de force;” “Comic relief at every turn;” “First class writing and delivery;” “Intricately-woven, propelled with lightspeed smarts;” “Among the strongest, tightest, most engaging writing at Fringe;” “A luminosity;” “Powerful wit, heart and humour;” “A beacon of hope and light;” “Smart, honest, genuine theatre;” “Intelligent writing for intelligent people;” “Left feeling inspired;” “Beautiful turns of phrase, beautiful expressions;” “Passion, energy, humour and real positivity;” “Eloquence, poetry, piercing insight and beauty;”

“It is the kind of show everyone should see at least once;” “Echoes long beyond the hour;” “Worth a second time;” “It’s really something - and incredibly special;” “Essential part of my fringe;” “This is the third ticket I bought;”

“Listen carefully and you will find much humour and maybe learn a little about yourself;” 

“You need an audience that is super quick and super intelligent because it is so rich. It’s like three or four shows running along at one time - it’s extraordinary. It’s extraordinary;”
