Critic Reviews

If the jokes are simple, they are also durable. ... Everybody needs a bit of festive stupidity at this time of year – pratfalls, broad humour, Christmas cracker wit – but too much of it can leave you feeling a bit bad about yourself. The Goes Wrong Show would, I think, wring laughs from just about anyone, young or old, sober or not so much. And you don’t have to feel guilty about your Yuletide-induced lack of discernment – there’s just too much to admire in it.

This old-fashioned, family-friendly comedy trod the line between seasonal cheer and black humour with aplomb. It was like Mrs Brown’s Boys but funny.
