Despite opening night being derailed by technical problems this play balances silliness with sophistication in a way that should make it a Christmas favourite.

Even when the plot goes nowhere fast this is all very enjoyable.

The show feels just slightly stretched, but there are flashes of brilliance over its 80 minutes.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 15th December 2022A Christmas Carol-ish... by Mr Swallow review
I'll say it now: I love a good Christmas Show. I don't consider myself over-the-top when it comes to festive feelings, but I do like the spirit of Christmas - the warmth, good tidings and all that razz the season brings. And so it was with much excitement I got myself down to Soho Theatre for A Christmas Carol-ish by Mr Swallow (aka Nick Mohammed). I was not disappointed.

Nick Mohammed is Scrooge as you've never seen him before.

There are already nine major versions of A Christmas Carol on the London stage this winter. Now here's No. 10 - guaranteed to be nothing like the rest.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 9th December 2022A Christmas Carol-ish... by Mr Swallow review
Mohammed gives a sprightly performance that grafts the Mr Swallow character nicely onto the Scroogey-Santa trope while retaining the essential personality of his original creation.
Maryam Philpott, The Reviews Hub, 9th December 2022A Christmas Carol-ish, Soho Theatre review
Nick Mohammed has created an evening full of charm, which on the surface looks a bit haphazard but is intricately pieced together.
