Funny at first then halfway dragged a bit and little bored

Rebecca Jane Rushworth

Just not remotely funny. We both have a keen sense of humour. I sniggered once and we left at the interval. Very disappointing. Would absolutely not recommend. Go to see Book of Mormon instead if you want to see skilled writing, genuine comedy and fantastic performances!

Clare Norman

So good!!

Georgina Martha Wylie

Highly recommend

Brilliant show, not what we were expecting after seeing the Play That Went Wrong but very entertaining, different but in a good way, thank you!

Mr David Hampton

Elisabeth Hoogeweij

A Robertson

Fast paced loud and funny.

Ana

An easy laugh!

Lavi Fridman

Wise, unique, humoristic. The 3D usage of the stage is not less than genious.

Antonia Neubauer

The theatershow was really good :)

REVIEW: The Comedy about a Bank Robbery in 250 words

The Comedy about a Bank Robbery is the creation of Mischief Theatre who created Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Play that Goes Wrong. The Comedy About a Bank Robbery, although somewhat unsubtle and a touch too predictable, is altogether enjoyable, easy entertainment.
