Reviews:

"Tremendously funny. Bold, refreshing and different" - SCOTSMAN **** and FRINGE FIRST NOMINATED
http://www.edinburgh-festivals.com/reviews.cfm?id=1238892007

"Hugely original slapstick satire. A fabulous piece of physical comedy. Mundell and Jesper – and their director Daniel Bye who doubles as the victim – are very obviously hugely talented physical comics, and this is an ambitious piece that showcases their abilities." - WWW.CHORTLE.CO.UK ****
