.

"A bottomless supply of surreal sketches, dramatic vignettes and almost tuneful operettas ... a must for anyone with a pulse and a sense of humour!"
- www.BBC.co.uk

"The best ad-lib ensemble in the UK."
- London Evening Standard

"These are masters of their craft and there wasn't a dull moment. Terrific fun."
- Manchester Evening News

"The troupe more than lives up to its hallowed reputation...the livewire skill underpinning all that wanton spontaneity quite takes your breath away."
- Dominic Cavendish, Daily Telegraph.

"Witty, silly, satirical, occasionally ludicrous, ultimately crowd-pleasing" - www.SkyArts.co.uk

"What happens when a bunch of the world's most hilarious comedians come to town? Uproar, of course." - Banglore Times

"Comedy Store Players: A supportive crowd wills on six brave performers who arrive with no script and not the faintest idea of what will happen. Through improvisation they create whole sketches and comic dramas that are amazingly inventive and sometimes take off into flights of surreal brilliance. 'Whose Line Is it Anyway' is a pale TV imitation." - Daily Telegraph
