Press for this production:

‘it’s a joy… with lyrics and writing by Tom Watson (who also plays Charlie), a series of lovely performances by a hardworking cast, and some truly inspired meta-theatrical references (some obvious, some subtle) it soon becomes clear that these guys know what they are about. With sharp and busy direction from Hannah Lochhead…

As Charlie and Nick, Tom Watson and Nicholas Southcott have an easy way with one another and, by extension, with the audience who loved it. Their interplay is smart… The supporting cast are all given their moments in the sun and each plays a number of incidental characters.. George Teller as ridiculous PT Trey is funny and athletic, debutant Scarlett Irish as Megan lands her big solo tune and standout Chloe Way clowns and gurns to pretty much steal the show… by God, this was good stuff ’ ★★★★ London Pub Theatres

‘totally absurd and yet totally convincing… It’s still a fairly novel thing for a pub theatre production to so seamlessly integrate pre-recorded videos and voiceovers with live performance, and this production is to be commended for doing it all so well… Some metatheatre creeps into the narrative, nicely done. A fun and fantastical production.’ ★★★★ London Theatre1

‘enthusiastically performed by the actor/singers to the delight of the very friendly and warm audience. The clowning and comic timing, directed by Hannah Lochhead, gave each of the five performers their moments to shine. The heartfelt ‘Megan’s Turn’ performed beautifully by Scarlett Irish about loss and grief, was rapturously received. This is truly a strong ensemble of performers…

I highly recommend this full, joyful, cheeky production’ Southwark News

‘Tom Watson’s words – mostly but not entirely rap-type rhythms – are witty and cleverly rhymed in the way of WS Gilbert or Tom Lehrer. Included in the mix is a slickly delivered patter song and a fine example of three people singing in counterpointed rhythm, which works well. And the first main number is about texting in preference to calling. It builds up like a Stomp piece, and it’s good fun.

Watson himself is strong as Charlie, the lodger and he and Nicholas Southcott, as the quasi-landlord, are a pleasing duo. It’s a physical, energetic show, and the choreography is imaginative…

Chloe Way does several brilliant cameos… George Deller, whose body and face seem to be made of rubber, pleases as the absurdly over-the-top personal trainer at the gym. And Scarlett Irish shows plenty of versatility as Jamie’s bereaved sister, Megan and in lively ensemble roles…

it’s an enjoyable show worth catching. As in any good comedy, there’s an underlying strand of something more serious to add depth – grief and friendship in this case.’ Reviews Hub
