Free House was a very moving piece, with a bit of everything in it and extremely well executed. Fragments and moments was startling and thought provoking. The landlord's monologue on Blackpool is highly entertaining so if you have tickets look forward to it! I was not expecting such dark theatre (although there were some very funny moments) but it certainly entertained me. I would love to have come more than once but was unable to get further tickets. Please do it again! Visited Pub last night as it was my birthday, bought the tickets weeks ago and v glad I did.

Fantastic performance from Amanda Lawrence, her characterisation of Charles Hawtrey was superb and she effortlessly drew us into his world of despair. How she managed to play so many characters in such an acomplished manner amazed us. We were not surprised when we found out afterwards that she is a KneeHigh regular as we absolutely love them too.

What a superb performance from Amanda Lawrence (Jiggery Pokery).....we were both completely hooked. How she played so many characters so effortlessly is beyond belief. Her characterisation of Charles Hawtrey in particular was stunning and we felt ourselves drawn into his world of despair. When we read the flyer afterwards we were not surprised to see she also works with Kneehigh who we love. Well done!

Great performances and the Blackpool poem was just a perfect start. The Landlord was perfect and made everyone feel familiar and like they were in their local and when the Charles Dawtry one woman show started it was just fantastic. I wont ever be eating 'bunny sausages'! What a great evening. Great performances and the Blackpool poem was just a perfect start.

Jiggery Pokery amazing tour de force, and Love 'Shift even better - really used the pub theme in the whole space, and I felt smug that I enjoyed opera for the first time (okay, accessible opera). The three actors sparkled with the script/music (er..libretto?). No time for darts, though. Managed to get in again by time-honoured tradition of asking those in queue to sell me spare.

The piece with the couple on the blind date was funny and true - you could see everyone in the audience relating to it - and then RUM & VODKA was one of the best hours of theatre I've ever seen. The actor was such an amazing storyteller that the time just whizzed by. PUB's such a fantastic idea, I want to come back, so please put it on again as it's all sold out now!
