User Reviews
This show is genuinely ‘laugh out loud’ funny. It is what it says on the tin, with a few songs mixed in. We both loved it. It’s fast paced in parts and, in common with some other shows that we’ve seen, has clever use of scenery and props.
This was a really fun show. At a few points, it had me belly laughing, maybe even let out a few tears from laughing so much. It's a great show to see with friends or family and is definitely a good pick-me-up.
