“ .. With ‘Extra Happy Happy’, the company have arrived at a highly successful style which mixes energetic physical and verbal comedy in a fast paced show that appeals to anyone who is about to, or has set off, or remembers setting off on their gap-year travels. Big Wow will certainly add laughs and something special to your main programmes or comedy seasons.”

Graeme Phillips (Artistic Director/Unity Theatre, Liverpool)

“..Explosively funny work from this highly talented and creative duo – an hilarious evening which leaves you still laughing when you leave the theatre.”

Angela Heslop (Radio Merseyside.)

‘Extra Happy Happy was more fun than is strictly legal. Playing to a very enthusiastic audience this tale of gap year mishaps was perfect for our student audience. Undoubtedly the hit of the Northern Exposure Festival here at the Theatre in the Mill.’

IAIN BLOOMFIELD (Artistic Director, Theatre in the Mill, Bradford) 

‘We programmed Extra Happy Happy as part of the welcome week for new students at the University of Wolverhampton in October 2004, and I don’t think we could have chosen a better show to welcome them to their new student lives .. it went down a storm! Very funny and packed with gags and references to which they could relate – some seemed to be relating to it a little too well .. The ultimate high! F**king wow, like seriously wow!’

KEVIN O’SULLIVAN (Arena Theatre, Wolverhampton)

‘Swanky Geezer Nonsense is one of the funniest two-handers I’ve seen for a long time. It is full of excellent physical comedy, the text is beautifully structured with wonderful flights of fancy, and bouts of great slapstick. I thoroughly recommend this piece.’

JOHN WRIGHT (Artistic Director, ‘Told By An Idiot’)

‘A genre ripe for satire and here comes Big Wow Theatre Company to tear it all apart. A one hour and twenty minute non-stop show of sustained energy from the two performers, ever ready to take the daftness that one step further.’

PHILIP KEY (Liverpool Daily Post)
