Harry made a joke saying "watch your bag doesn't catch fire"

Brian Belo got a lot of attention down the front.

I preferred the 2nd half though I expected it to be much funnier. I didn't find 'Simon' very funny. TG for the dog and Hunchback to take the boredom away!

Chenice was a great character. (I fell in love with her!) 'Max' performed his own song excellently.

You got to laugh when he first got out of the car and then remembered something he left in the car, I know it was corny, then when he got off the bike, after cycling madly on the bike doing his spinning exercise? :giggle:

I didn't really enjoy I can't sing.

Ok it was funny in parts. But it was was too long.
I'm sure I was nodding off to sleep in second half.
But loved the Louis character. Wished he was in a bit more.

I really enjoyed it, the essence of Dermott, Louis and Simon were captured perfectly. Some of the really ott stuff should be cut out but for the main, the songs were funny and the sets pretty clever. Totally love Simon Lipkin as Bailey, and the Hunchback really rocked vx o/ :cool:
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

Other Desert Cities - nice stage layout but was it worth the effort? I found this largely dull and droll. I have no idea how you can get so many people in one theatre who will laugh at drollness consistently for 2 hours. Well there were one or two interesting lines.

Ego Of The Yogis - a kind of Weat meets East for yoga and its religious beliefs. Minamalist, interesting but a little too critical of the West, I thought.

Each to their own, Raj. I thought this was a very sharp script and I really enjoyed it. Was happy to laugh consistently!
