Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho review
Blue twin set, pearls, scarf, hair set impossibly high, and clutching a handbag. It either has to be the Queen or Margaret Thatcher. But caught in the rain at night in Soho in a gay club?
Joan Phillips, British Theatre Guide, 22nd September 2023First Look: An Act of God at The Vaults
After many millennia, and in just 90 minutes, God (Zoe Lyons) assisted by her devoted angels Michael (Matt Tedford) and Gabriel (Tom Bowen) will answer some of the deepest questions that have plagued mankind since creation.
Theatre Weekly, 29th November 2019Margaret Thatcher: Queen of Soho review
The show uses a highly fictionalised Thatcher as a novel entrance point, but its message that everyone should be treated with respect - not just tolerated but loved - is tired. Brexit-incorporating rewrites of 2013's script are half-hearted. And overall, this is preaching to the converted. Anyone who pays to see tonight's show is already woke to its wisdom. So what does it add to our discourse around LGBT+ rights? The answer, likely nothing - but on a surface level, this 80s singalong's a rollicking way to spend an evening.
Daniel McLeod, The Upcoming, 27th March 2019The best political comedy for 2019

Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 1st February 2018Live Review: The Battle for Icetopia
The whole enterprise, produced by Alex Hardy and written and directed by Adam Larter has a wonderful "We can't believe we are doing this" atmosphere. It is a glorious triumph of collaborative effort.
Claire Smith, Beyond The Joke, 15th October 2017Review: Tony Law and Friends in the Battle For Icetopia
It's a big, bold and fun show, and a step into territory that most comedians would literally fear to tread. It's reassuring to know that a pulse still beats in the live comedy world away from the weekly treadmill of the clubs.
