Four from Footlights have escaped Footlights and come up with an all-new comic phenomenon: Grow Up.

A hectic two years of revues, stand-up, music, websites and films has condensed itself and given rise to this explosive hour of colourful, imaginative comedy and kitsch-cool creativity.

Grow Up takes you through the day dreams of a child in a series of innovative and eerily perceptive sketches. When is a grown up grown up?

Grow Up

Saw this show when it came back to Cambridge in the autumn of 2006 (so I don't know how much it changed since the Fringe). Thought it was almost uniformly excellent and hilarious - except at times I wished Tom Sharpe would realise he didn't have to shout to be funny.

All good performers and some original sketches, but quite a few fell flat. With the recurring sketches they often went back to them too much when they should have just ended them. There was some really well written word play, but the dialogue in pther parts seemed a bit vague. All in all a pleasant enough way to spend an hour, but I'd not call it a 'must-see
