As always.. very entertaining and clever! Would love to see more of him here.

Could've done with air-conditioning in theatre but loved our first Drama Factory show, thank you.

As I pressed 'submit' - it looked like I only had 4 1/2 stars ! If so, that was a mistake - this was a 5 STAR PERFORMANCE - nothing less !! :)

The Alan Committee show was absolutely FANTASTIC ! We laughed from beginning to end. Thank you for another first class show at The Drama Factory.

Hilarious, such a treat, thank you. Still laughing!

Side splitting comedy delivered by Alan showing why he remains one of the foremost comedians on the circuit. Top class entertainment. Looking forward to his next instalment. Thanks for a fun filled Saturday evening. Natheem and Caroline

Not sure if the message went from my phone, so repeating this on computer. Really enjoyed. Humour so fast that I feel I need to see it again to catch up! Pity my son refused to let his 14-year old daughter see it, she would have loved it.
