Ben Elton - The Musical Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2006
Ben Elton - The Musical

We absolutely loved this show from start to finish and by the sound of the laughter around us the rest of the audience felt the same way. We can't wait to see what Dan Thomas does next. He is one to watch out for in the future.

Emma D, August 2006


The worst thing I saw while up... I think it's the only comedy I've ever walked out on.

Dougal, August 2006


Absolutely dreadful. We walked out after twenty excruciating minutes.

Kate B, August 2006


A fantastic fast performance of sketch, song and panto and all done by one amazing man. The timing with his video screen was spot on and hilarious to watch. Gags, tunes and an ever so spitting image style Thatcher/Loyd-Webber character gives the story (yes there is one and it is about saving the world) even more of a spin. Very easy to laugh out loud watching this man and his show. Talent like this should be seen more and given a real chance. One to watch as a future star.

MV Robb, August 2006


An inspired turn. Dan's breathlessly fast dissection of all that has gone wrong with Ben Elton at times left the audience wondering where to laugh or applaud such was the speed with which he produced one devastatingly destructive lyrical turn after another. Yet by the middle of his use of Abba to depict the middle east crisis, the audience gave up being polite and just fell about, before eventually finding it the most natural thing in the world to spontaneously join in with a rendition of "Tomorrow" and applauding Dan from the stage raucously. A pleasant surprise and clearly Dan has much to offer in the future too.

David Nineham, August 2006
