“I think that Hughes tried to include the audience to a fault.  If he had not poked fun and had stuck more to the overall plot of his show, I would have found it to be more interesting.” Sarah Groneck
“To begin with, Hughes not only greeted his audience, but made us greet each other, which met with mixed success. Generally, however, the audience were on good form all evening, and many of the most comic moments came from them” Claire Morley

“At just one hour long, this show promises to entertain, bemuse and excite even the most straight faced audience member.” Camilla Turner
“The whole production in general contained elements of great British comedy; for instance the satirical touch and the reoccurring sketches running throughout the performance was very reminiscent of ‘Little Britain’, while anticipatory humour involving a painfully funny development to the climax is an approach used frequently in ‘Fawlty Towers’.” Catherine Owen

“The show was funny, but not gut-busting, it felt too amorphous and not quite weird enough.” Rebecca Whiteley

“A play about tedium, then, that finds it hard not to veer on the tedious. I won’t say Yawn has no inner resources – it’s frequently funny, stylishly staged, and mostly well-acted – but behind the hot air and the encyclopaedic research, I don’t know how much heart, or point, this sparky but perhaps a little shallow script contains.” Richard O’Brien
“The problem is that a clever concept (and randomly inserted poo references) can only stretch so far.” Madeline Wright

Tuesday 26th – Wednesday 27th January; 8pm
The Wheatsheaf
“There was no question of an awkward turtle moment, no fear of a flop, stumbled or misdelivered punch line. We were completely dominated: I found myself helplessly swaying around in paroxysms of laughter, literally unable to stop the giggles.” Imogen Sarre
“It was all round an excellent comedy performance, unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in Oxford,” Guy Davis

“A main feature of his performance is the inclusion of his self-described “very low energy musical whimsy”, which features a miniature electronic Yamaha that brings to mind more a child’s first keyboard than a comedian’s weapon of choice.” Liam Shaw

Tuesday 1st December – Thursday 5th December, 7.30 p.m.
“this dose of light entertainment does exactly what its audience asks of it and also manages to maintain a refreshingly high standard of dialogue” James Garrett

Magdalen Auditorium
Wednesday 25th – Saturday 28th November 7.30pm
“Any actress who plays Katisha, the unwanted bride of Nanki-Poo with “a caricature of a face”, can’t be vain, but Denhoed embraced Katisha’s overpowering undesirability and made the performance a delight.” Kirstin Hollingsworth

“As the performance unfolds, the Imps continue to dazzle and dumbfound with fresh comic genius. The gags aren’t crude or obvious but rather intelligent and unexpected. As the director Simon describes, the Imps are striving for ‘deeper humour’ by being unphased by the unusual.” Zoe Burgess

Magdalen College Auditorium, Tuesday 17th November – Saturday 21st November, 7.30p.m.
“One thing that marred my enjoyment of the play was a frequent fluffing of lines: a few of the actors tripped over Sheridan’s elaborate metaphors and barbed witticisms and garbled their sense”. Review by Kirstin Hollingsworth
“The play offers roles that are rich and laden with heady 18th century English – thus not for the one-eared listener. Whether it was the particular composition of the intimate crowd that evening, or an overall failure of the language mediating the humour in …
