Must See Comedy

5/5

This play is brilliant!! A fair amount of strong language, but only adds to the humour. All actors are brilliant in the play, but must say, Lee Evans is outta this world...if your a Lee Evans fan you'll love him in this, he gives you what you come to expect from him...a great show with lots of feel good laughter.

Amazing play from start to finish. Lee Evans was fantastic as always. My daughter and I laughed so much and loved every minute. Didn't matter about strong language just made it more funny. We would watch it again. We'll worth going to see.

Plenty of laughs, a great evening out!

If you’re easily offended by bad language and expect to hear nothing but the Queen’s English, then this play is not for you. If you can deal with a few (quite a lot) of swear words and can take the typical Essex, TOWIE type characters with a pinch of salt then definitely give it a go! We primarily went to see Lee Evans in another crazy role. He shone through and held the play together with his hilarious faces and quick one liners. Plenty of laughs to be had throughout the play, an enjoyable evening, topped off by meeting the great man himself after the show!

Great play - Glad I ignored some of the reviews

I think you need to know the type of people this play is about and then you will realise the script and characters are spot on. Very funny. Brought tickets as a gift and I was dreading going after seeing some of the reviews. Did some of the reviewers actually go and see the same play? I will never look at reviews again. Have already recommended friends to book their tickets.

Essex at it's best!

Bad language comes thick and fast but it's totally in keeping with the type of people this hilarious black comedy portrays. The set & clothes are so TOWIE, an enjoyable fun play that no doubt some will find offensive, just take it in context and laugh all the way through. Great cast.
