British Comedy Guide, 7th November 2024Review: The Unfriend
Lee Mack and Frances Barber excel in Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat's comedy.
Gabriel Curteis, A Young(ish) Perspective, 12th January 2024The Unfriend review
Headed by new faces Lee Mack and Sarah Alexander, a refreshed cast for The Unfriend has now been unwrapped and let loose on this comedy but it is still one of the biggest headscratchers in the West End.
Franco, Theatre & Tonic, 11th January 2024The Unfriend review
Returning to the West End after a successful run last year, Steven Moffat's seriously silly play dispels the Winter blues with its excruciating comedy of manners.
Claire Roderick, Fairy Powered Productions, 11th January 2024The Unfriend review
The Unfriend is a perfect night out at the theatre if what you need is uncontrollable laughter. You'll not only chuckle your heart out, but also be invested in an expertly written comic storyline that is a must-see.
James Robertson, The Reviews Hub, 11th January 2024The Unfriend review
If you're looking for a few easy laughs and want to switch off for a couple of hours then head on down to the Wyndham's. Ultimately though, The Unfriend brings us nothing new. The cast are limited by a script that gives them no room to play.
Eliza Harris, West End Best Friend, 10th January 2024The Unfriend review
While the show has a strong cast, for the most part, The Unfriend would be better called The Unfunny. Even if it was curious enough to hold my attention throughout.
Chris Omaweng, London Theatre 1, 10th January 2024The Unfriend review
The Unfriend makes for an enjoyable night out, especially for fans of the cast members who want to see them in a familiar role.
Rachel Creeger, Funny Women, 10th January 2024The Unfriend review
This isn't a show with any claims to substance, character development or insight on the world. It is simply a light, frothy, undemanding slice of West End escapism.
Keith Mckenna, British Theatre Guide, 10th January 2024The Unfriend to return to the West End with Lee Mack
Steven Moffat's comedy The Unfriend will make its West End return this winter, with Lee Mack, Sarah Alexander and Frances Barber.
