Pandemonium review
Armando Iannucci's furiously funny takedown of No 10.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 12th December 2023Pandemonium review
Pandemonium is flawed, but at a time when Johnson and his media cronies are trying to rewrite the narrative that they 'got the big calls right', this is a reminder that no, no they didn't.

John Cutler, The Reviews Hub, 12th December 2023Pandemonium review
Boris' pandemic problem goes Shakespearean.
Liam O'Dell, Liam O'Dell, 12th December 2023Pandemonium review
The show is little more than a knockabout end-of-year school entertainment, that strangely has no satiric teeth beyond making up playground names for public figures. It offers no insight into their behaviour beyond stupidity, lacks any kind of context for the horror that enveloped the UK and, despite the lively, fluent performance of a fine cast, feels overlong at ninety minutes running time.

Satire needs a shot of Pfizer's finest to revive tired storylines.
Gary Naylor, The Arts Desk, 12th December 2023Pandemonium review
When Iannucci lets rip, it's worth the wait.
