The Girl on the Train (Malvern Theatres, Malvern)

22nd Oct 19: Why take such a serious subject and make it into comedy.... confused. If all the little jokes had not been around in the first place could have been good but just spoilt it a bit for me

Hormonal Housewives

6th Oct 19: I’m sorry this was rubbish. Clearly been written by a man. More circa 1950s housewives struggling with ‘ husband troubles ‘ than relevant to a an adult woman mother grandmother living in 2019 could not recommend it. Though the girls on stage tried very hard.

Tabby McTat (Dorking Halls, Dorking)
1 James k
3rd Oct 19: The show could be brilliant, the set and costumes are far too basic for young ones, along with the fact that there are 4 actors that interchange parts all the way through who are only identifiable by the hat they are wearing. No one was dressed up as a cat but children are supposed to imagine a cat by a hat which then is passed to and played by another actor .. young ones just cannot follow what’s going on... a disappointment...

Zog (Milton Keynes Theatre, Milton Keynes)
1 Simone
31st Aug 19: I wish I'd seen the reviews before parting with £70 for a GCSE drama student production (at best). There is little to no similarities with the book itself. The production is extremely misleading to have been sold as a story about 'Zog' and the costumes and props looked like they were picked up at your local Wilkos store. Very disappointed!

Minor Disruptions (The Fringe Office, Edinburgh)

13th Aug 19: Completely engaging and great fun. Katie draws you in as both viewer and participant in this clever, witty and thought provoking show. Definitely one to be seen and a talent to be snapped up and nurtured.

The Johnny Cash Roadshow (New Victoria Theatre, Woking)

27th Jul 19: Easily the best Cash show I've ever seen, it's that good I don't think there is room for much improvement apart from not being a long enough show. A great evening out.

The Actor's Nightmare (Park Theatre, Inner London)

18th Jul 19: Absolute shite. I can forgive the cost of the ticket, but not the sheer mind numbing crap I had to sit through for 90+ minutes.

James Acaster (Town Hall, Cheltenham)
1 Brad
2nd Jul 19: Sent to Cheltenham Town Hall.....Hello, What on Earth happened to James last night?????? A heckle and the show went down the toilet ! We know what he's like usually, seen all his TV and Netflix shows.... Bought 3 tickets for ourselves and son (23) (our son's Christmas Present !!) Row MM 7,8 & 9 Obviously you book him based on his track record, which is great, but... I'd be interested to hear if you've had any similar comments. If you're a stand up....at some point you will get heckled.....and....you'd better be able to deal with it....put it behind you if you can't capitalise on it. Some comedians thrive on it....Jimmy Carr for example, but either; ignore it and carry on, or use it to get more laughs !!! I'll be looking online to see if there are any reviews. I can't believe it was just the three of us who felt the same way! Really disappointing evening :( Kind Regards, Brad
