Sion's a superb host. A brilliantly entertaining line-up. Fun audience members. Some were doing different things whist watching the comedy. Knitting, ironing, drinking and other multi-tasking activities. Were all taking place. Now, now. It was all clean stuff by audience members. Some have dishwashers and ironing boards. Don't you know?! A perfect way to spend a lockdown Monday evening.

Great way to try and reach people during lockdown. Good fun. Flowed really well. A surprise ‘big’ nane in comedy, which was a great bonus. Most of the comedians were great , it can’t be easy doing a routine this way ,so think they all did good compare was fab in his role and brought it all together ! Would definitely attend another. Great value for money. Actually felt like we had been out! Just not out out.
