British Comedy Guide, 20th January 2023Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em - The Alexandra, Birmingham review
Unsworth's direction ensures the whole never pauses for breath as we are swept along with the narrative so that, as an uncomplicated farce, Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em is a triumph; and for that reason, the superficiality of the characterisation and relationships won't matter for many who seek a good laugh on a night out.
Selwyn Knight, The Reviews Hub, 20th July 2022Live review: Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em

This production is a great evening's entertainment for everyone who loves the TV show, and anyone who enjoys a good laugh besides.
Greg Jameson, Entertainment Focus, 28th February 2020Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em review
This is British quirky humour at its best, packed full of pathos, puns, pratfalls and some nice 'n' fruity postcard humour.
Sally Jack, British Theatre Guide, 18th July 2018Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em - Darlington, review
Whether you are familiar with the original TV series or not, this is pure comedy gold that should not be missed.
Mark Clegg, The Reviews Hub, 4th July 2018Joe Pasquale in Some Mothers Do Ave Em review
As it stands, if you accept the clichés of broad old-school farce and wordplay you can often see coming, this revival of Some Mothers Do Ave Em is played out with enough verve to satisfy. But with little attempt to update its sensibilities, it's unlikely to win over a new generation of fans.
