He takes control of the show and audience! Are you ready to be taken HOSTAGE? 'Slick, briskly paced and wonderfully anarchic production' ***** (LondonTheatre1.com). 'Witty and entertaining' ***** (WestEndBestFriend.co.uk). 'Fast-paced hour of idiotic nonsense' **** (Daily Express). 'Takes high-concept comedy to new and perilous heights' **** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'Fast-paced hour of delectable silliness' **** (ThreeWeeks).
