* The Times *'A fast-paced comedy mashup that sends up Britishness with oodles of silliness... zings with intelligence, imagination and comic anarchy'
* Guardian *'Cheek-achingly funny... a ceaseless stream of quick one-liners that delivers laugh after laugh of pure entertainment... a great night out'
* Broadway World *'A gloriously comic mash-up... hurrah, huzzah and harrumble!'
