Review For Performances By Messina And Rusling
"Fact - women can be funny. Proof - Messina and Rusling. Each character is brilliantly observed and each punchline expertly delivered. Inventive and imaginative, their range of characters never fail to amuse. They have the timing and the delivery to keep all of the characters they present funny, never once losing our attention." The Stage Vicky Frost
"These two writers from Smack the Pony perform a series of vaguely nautically themed sketches. If you like the TV show, you'll love the way this duo takes absurdity to new heights, and then a bit further... There's applause after every sketch" Three Weeks - Amanda Paluka Dale
"... has a high gag count and originality which is often lacking elsewhere. I especially enjoyed the beatnik poets of Peterborough, who meet for cappuccinos at that cathedral of cool, Asda." The Spectator - Fresh From The Fringe Renata Rubnikowicz Looks At The Best And Most Innovative Acts
