Bodily, Friday, August 31st, Fleur de Lis Hall, Faversham

“Just seen Bodily at the #FavershamFringe and it was a superb mix of self-deprecating humour and colouring in with the help of stationery and massive flash cards. It was just right for a Friday night in Faversham or anywhere, to be honest. It is a very strong  out of 5, so if you see it on anywhere, go, just GO!” CreekFM

Trans Pennine, Thursday, August 30th, Arden Theatre, Faversham

“I’m going to start with this:  out of 5. This was one of the pure gems of this year’s #FavershamFringe! The writer’s ability to make the characters easy to understand and feel what they’re going through is second to none. The way they brought the #trans conversation to the forefront and reminded us how long it would normally take was handled with a gentle strength that is again a testament to the writer’s skill. We found out that Ben was based on a real person and this was how he revealed her true identity which gave more depth to the piece. Basically, if you see Trans Pennine or anything from The Orange Works you won’t be disappointed!” CreekFM

Benji Waterstones: Shrink, August Monday 27th & Tuesday, August 28th, The Vaults, Faversham

“Shrink: Benji Waterstones was a brilliantly funny look through a Junior Doctor’s first year’s diary. He lays out the stories of life going from the last days of A&E to NHS Psychiatry rotation and there are lots of stories to tell. Although tonight’s audience was not as large as last night’s, where it was packed, to me it worked just as well because it felt like chatting and having a laugh with a mate! So if you see his flyer anywhere go and see him you will only regret it if you don’t!  and a half out of 5.” CreekFM

Flamin’ Go To This, Monday, August 27th, Arden Theatre, Faversham

“Well, what an hour that was! Ribs and Neil, who came into the studio last week, performed Flamin’ Go To This tonight at the Arden and from the first sketch, the audience was in stitches. Now they may have smudged a couple of lines and had a chameleon change colour too soon but it was another superbly written, performed and enjoyed show at this year’s #FavershamFringe.  and a half out of 5.” CreekFM

“Great show! Liked the bits that went right and really liked the bits that went wrong. Really enjoyed it. My friend was in danger of peeing his pants several times during the show.” Audience Member

“Thanks for a fun show!” Audience Member

“Dudes! Bravo. Hilarity 🙌” Audience Member

“Funny stuff that tested my pelvic floor.” Audience Member

Lady Bracknell’s Confinement, Sunday, August 26th & Friday, August 31st, Arden Theatre, Faversham

“‘I’ve never been to anything like that before but it was bloody brilliant!’ – that was the first thing I heard after the show. If you love #OscarWilde then you truly have got to see this, if you’ve never read Oscar Wilde’s #TheImportanceOfBeingEarnest, you’ve got to see this! Mr Paul Doust you have outdone yourself sir, and I thank you for a beautifully written and acted piece. #FavershamFringe thank you for giving us this amazing show! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5.” CreekFM
