Saw this tonight, I guess Iโm the only one who found Daniel Rigby very annoying and not that funny? I preferred him in act 2, but I just found him OTT and annoying. BUT I found the other cast funny and I enjoyed the play as a whole unit.

Does anyone have a full playlist of the songs they play at interval? I caught Roxanne by The Police (clever!) so am assuming theyโre following a theme here. Fantastic show, definitely deserves a bigger audience and what great audience reactions! Daniel Rigby is a real talent for his back-and-forth antics, I wonder what energy drink heโs chugging before every show. Interval playlist : Police and Thieves - Junior Murvin Riot van - Arctic Monkeys Roxanne - The Police Manic - Micheal Sembello

BUT I found the other cast funny and I enjoyed the play as a whole unit. I presume his character is designed to be rather annoying.. But I understand how this can be a bit too much for some.. I do prefer a more subtle acting myself, but considering itโs a farce..

Finally caught this last and can only agree with all the praise. Such a fun but clever night out. I was in the front row so enjoyed having the fourth wall coat chucked at me. Also can we praise how they have kept tickets cheap for this and have sold very well because of it.

Saw this again this evening. Daniel Rigby still in fine form and Iโll be sad to see it close.
Hope it finds another life someday.

This was a brilliant performance by Daniel Rigby in an excellent production. One of those plays that passed me by over the decades. Caught it at a Screening today at the Victoria & Albert Museum (very good size screen, sound, and auditorium), from the performance archive they've been gathering since early 1990s, and not screened/streamed elsewhere. Free of charge. Their Performance Festival runs until 28th April, with other daytime screenings including: Caryl Churchill's 'A Number' (the Gambon/Daniel Craig version, back to back with the recent Old Vic one), Arinze Kene's 'Misty', and more. www.vam.ac.uk/festival/2024/va-performance-festival-2024
