“One of the most incredible comedy creators in Australia right now.” – Dan Ilic
It’s fantastic… driven by big chaos energy. It's more anarchic, more absurdist, more "Python"… the episodes start flying off the rails from the jump, and you have to be willing to follow. But I am, and it's very funny. And it builds to a truly chaotic ending.” — Pop Culture Happy Hour, NPR
