“Freeman has mastered the joke-drama ratio. We're caught from the outset. We are privy to the best of theatre... This is the Gold Standard. We are honoured and privileged... Chances are, it will be moving into the West End and, if we’re lucky, Broadway... This is a “don’t miss this” if there ever was one.”

"Who knew that three men... could cause such hilarity? Razor-sharp, rapid-fire one-liners, exquisite wordplay… a delight… I think this might be my favourite show this year at The Fringe. If it's not then it has certainly set the bar VERY high."

Fringe Review

*****

“... a privilege to witness... masterful... The audience were transported... There are laughs and big laughs and moments of stillness and sadness... hilarity... a truly astounding show... Recommended.”
