Reviews
★★★★★
This show sucks you in from the very first minute. Profound, heart-breaking, and riotously funny. Breath-taking, important piece of work. Go. It’ll make you feel alive.
Fest Mag★★★★
There’s no point at which it stops being funny. Some of the most perfect, Tom and Jerryish facial acting you’ll see on the Fringe. Thinking about death has inspired a show packed to brim with life and joy.
The Scotsman★★★★
It’s fast, it’s funny and it plumbs the emotional depths exquisitely. Ugly Bucket is making really exciting, innovative work.
