Steve Bugeja was absolutely brilliant. I loved it all I really did, everyone had a fantastic time and the feedback we have had so far has all been so positive.
Drum-tight, as if polished by a sitcom writers’ room to cram as many jokes in as humanly possible.
Plentiful jokes and compelling storytelling.
