REVIEW EXTRACTS
'People Show is a national treasure.' The Independent

'Mixes deadpan humour with a melancholic sweetness... A show about life, not death, it sends you into the night determined to live every moment to the full until your very last breath.' The Guardian (The Obituary Show)

'Determinedly about life…. distinctly British surrealism… Funny and sad by turns, shot through with moments of comic absurdity, the show sidles up and breathes its message in your ear: think about how your life will be remembered.' Sunday Times (The Obituary Show)
