Media Reviews
Packed with brilliant observations and sharp one-liners, but it is also a surprising look at the nuts and bolts of comedy * The Times *
Eloquence and wit ...shine from this gently peculiar story ... an absolute gem * Metro *
Watson is a gifted comic writer unafraid to juggle material many comic writers wouldn't touch... an intelligent, humane and desperately funny tale * Independent on Sunday *
