Mark Fisher, Lyndsey Winship and Brian Logan, The Guardian, 14th June 2019Simon Munnery review
The Wreath is unusual for Munnery in that it's the first story show I've seen him perform in quite some time - an altogether much more straightforward approach than recent ventures.
Narc Magazine, 27th March 2019Simon Munnery: The Wreath review
As Munnery concedes, 'it's not all jokes. Some of it is just really bad news.' Perhaps the most successful piece is a hilariously logical deconstruction of the phrase 'leave the room in a better state than you entered it', apparently coined by his mother. And for my money, Munnery certainly succeeds in doing that.

British Comedy Guide, 16th July 2018Simon Munnery: Renegade Plumber review
Many people would think that a comedy show revolving around a haphazard explanation of the invention of a heating system for a tent would be boring. And in the hands of many, they'd be right. But somehow, Munnery makes it work in the most endearing and effortless way.
