Crims Audience Reviews

Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall
Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable
Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Danny Mills I'm a connoisseur of British Comedy and whilst 'Crims' isn't a big- league puncher it's fresh, snappy writing and high gag-count keep it rolling on and enjoyable. Kadiff (as Jason) gets all the gags and is the nice-but-dim foil to Elis' 'wrong place wrong time' bemused Luke and the support cast is solid. The show creates it's own comedy language - frequently self-referential - to good effect (in trying not to reveal a planned escape route, Luke corrects himself from 'garden' to 'farden' - thinking this is an actual word, as a snappy riposte, Jason later uses the phrase 'I beg your farden?'). This is very much 'you had to be there comedy but I think that's the best kind. The show relies un-self- consciously on standard tropes but makes the intelligent but subtle nuances count. In other ways, blunt word play makes for simple but effective laughs (In his benign ignorance, Jason proclaims 'I'm not an igno-rapist!'). Definite potential to improve but enjoyable as it is. review by Danny E Mills
