If you are celebrating, book it! - The cast was brilliant, really made our hen feel part of the show. She loved it as did we all, I was laughing the whole way through. If there was any small suggestion I'd have is just to space the drinks out a bit, make the show longer? We had 4 beautifully made cocktails and by the end we couldn't finish them! Brilliant show, very highly recommend!

WOW. JUST WOW!! - The best interactive experience I've ever been to. You get put in a jump suit, thrown into a cell and read your rights and rules of prison. Numerous cocktails of varying strengths and flavour profiles so something for everyone. The performances from the staff/characters were phenomenal! Highly recommend to anyone wanting a unique and exciting experience.

Excellent experience - Beyond excellent experience, all staff at the venue were brilliant. Particularly loved Wilmhot but everyone was amazing. Couldn't stop laughing and some in our group were brought to tears with so much laughter. We were sat with another couple and the experience was still great. You definitely need to be very outgoing to get the most of the experience as it's highly participatory. Only thing I would change is that it's made more obvious in the reminders that you need to bring alcohol with you as we nearly forgot.

Very Lively performance - This is the first time I drank after a long time. The performance, meeting strangers and the mushroom soup is really nice! Thanks for the experience.

Great fun if you are willing to interact with the actors, introverts be aware this may not be for you! - Great fun if you are willing to interact with the actors, introverts be aware this may not be for you! Tasty surprise cocktails and an interactive show with fantastic actors. I understand why tickets are the amount that they are, but as we are required to bring our own alcohol, I'm not sure I would be quick to recommend the experience, and I personally would not do it again, I only did this as it was a gift. If you are someone who prefers to know what they are drinking/choosing your own drinks, this experience is not for you.
