"Wickedly funny... proves that the still daring and laugh-out-loud funny writer Brad Fraser has not lost his golden touch." -- Whatsonstage.com

"Hilariously explicit... each character is lovably ghastly." -- Daily Express

"Enough rip-roaringly funny lines... to populate a satisfying sitcom" -- The Stage

"The dialogue... simmers, crackles and explodes with a pace that is seductive and irresistible... thought-provoking and funny. Highly entertaining." -- Liverpool Daily Post
