Saw this yesterday afternoon and enjoyed it very much. Tales of David Baddiel's mum and dad, told with candour and affection. Undemanding, funny, astonishing in places, but touching and thoughtful too.
Pictures, film footage, e-mails, letters and erotic poetry (mum's) included. The encore was a short Q&A session which tied it up nicely.
If you think your family is a bit strange you may empathise with some of this, and feel better knowing that there are even more odd families out there. Could be criticised for using so much personal information, but I liked the honesty about seeing his mum and dad as whole people, not paragons of virtue. I came away liking them all.
Nice meal in the restaurant too.
