weekend. Loved it. Superbly written and acted
by the cast. Thought provoking, funny and
sensitive in all the right places. This play
deserves to be seen and enjoyed by bigger
audiences. Book it!’

genuinely can’t recommend it enough.If you
want to have a proper laugh, you should
seriously check it out. Such a great story,
brilliant acting from everyone, really, really
funny, and just the right amount of gross. A
beautifully written, weirdly wholesome piece of
art’

great emotion in places, but hilariously funny
in others. You can tell the 3 guys really put
their heart and souls into this production.
Highly recommend!’

characters and a story that builds. Silly, rude,
funny and poignant - what's not to like. Highly
recommend for a good night out and you'll be
smiling for days.’

and at times deep conversations. I love the
attention to detail and a fab show to watch -
highly recommend!

performance. I am jealous of all that energy.’

sparked multiple emotions, even the
unexpected ones! The guys themselves are a

their work. I would recommend giving the time
to go and enjoy the show, and if you’re lucky
enough, have a few beers with them after like I
did’
