Critics Reviews

This neatly designed show zips along, and it is performed with energy and a madcap charm by the hard-working cast.
– The Guardian

This is good old fashioned silly fun, performed in the festive panto mould: lots of fart and bottom gags, a spot of audience participation, and a good old sing-a-long. Chuck in a few jokes for the adults and you have all the trappings of a great show.
