“It is gently amusing, unassuming entertainment and worth catching”
“A must-see show for fans of 60s humour”
“Chock full of delicious irreverence and absurdity, alongside fabulous wordplay and self-reference, this revival of Round the Horne is a timely reminder of the art of satire.”
“This production is bursting with the spirit of the original madcap bunch and its infectious combination of bawdy jokes and wickedly funny satire is as hilarious as ever.”
“a superb evening’s entertainment and I left the theatre wanting more”
“I laughed so much... I was in danger of being led out of the theatre”
