“Sometimes it is easy to lose sight of what a fringe festival is all about, but this show is reaffirming. A breath of fresh air. Hilariously funny and technically brilliant. This show is possibly the cleverest, funniest and most well- crafted thing you will see this festival. Do go and see it!” - Melbourne Arts and Fashion, Australia
