Ben Elton's comedy makes the jump from TV screens to the West End stage, starring David Mitchell.
Sarah Crompton, What's On Stage, 18th February 2020The Upstart Crow review
The prime market for this stage version of the popular TV series will inevitably be those who are already diehard fans of the show and / or the multi-talented David Mitchell, making his belated West End debut. They will not be disappointed.

Sitcom Will's stage debut was no error of comedy.
Luke Jones, Daily Mail, 18th February 2020Theatre review: The Upstart Crow, Gielgud Theatre, W1
Ben Elton has never been the coolest of comedians but he has always known how to craft a joke and The Upstart Crow is crammed with them. It is not just funny, it is futtocking funny.
