I went last year when visiting London. I literally had a sore stomach from laughing. I am going back to London next week and back to see the show again!.
funniest theatre performance ive ever been too, could not stop laughing throughout!
I would definitely go again :)
Just back from todays (24/8/13) matinee performance for my birthday treat. From the opening music performance (someone should have told us it was on because we missed a bit of it & must be distracting/annoying for them) straight into the play. From the moment Rufus Hound appeared it was clear that the great British farce & great comedy were alive & kicking. We laughed almost without stopping for the whole of the first half of the show. Comedy, farce, music & awful jokes were all included. The improvisation was just hilarious & left some of the cast laughing along with the audience. The second half wrapped up the story nicely & the brilliant musical intervals were welcome & amusing. I would recommend this show to everyone & anyone who loves a good farce & a damn good laugh ! Pure genius x
Excellent production- very funny and whitty- well worth our £12 seat price!!!- would happily have paid double - Rufus Hound was excellent and I would recommend this show.
Chose this play because I'd heard good reviews and there were tickets available for only£13! I was go smacked that I could go to the theatre in the west end for that price. At first i was a little non plussed as I don't really like slapstick, but once I got into it I was very impressed with how clever it was, using words as well as actions to gt laughs. I still can't work out what was scripted and what was ad lib.
I love it, you can't beat slap stick comedy, my face was aching from laughing. I would highly recommend this show to anyone with a great sense of humour..
Superb - had tears running down my face. The audience participation is hilarious.
Great audience participation. Funny. Great actin. Will got again.
The more I think about it, the more the play's clever homage to comedie del arte becomes clear. Once you accept its roots in clowning and buffoonary, you can sit back and relish a display of mind bogglingly clever theatrical skills. It takes consumate skill to be rediculous on stage and yet be utterly believable in character. Great.
Last minute decision to go on my own to cheer myself up after daughter had started at uni end Sept, and it was the best tonic! I laughed out loud the whole way through along with the rest of the audience. I loved everything about this show, including the Band, and I've recommended it to everyone I know. Will be going again with the family next.
