Really, really enjoyed this! By the show's conclusion I was left tearful and not wanting to leave Barry's warm-hearted company. It is rare to find a comedy this deceptively simple and engaging, that is actually strongly political and, believe me when I say this, a profound piece of theatre. If Alex Lowe chooses to take this show onwards, and I sincerely hope he does, don't you dare miss it. The hidden gem of the festival.

Funniest show on the fringe, bar none. Had us in stitches. These lads will go far. TV execs take note

There really is nothing like it! The best written show perhaps of all time with stunning performances from both actors. I had to see it twice. If they are not world famous in the next couple of years I will be astounded and offended by the nation's lack of taste and common decency. Out of everything I have been to this stands out like a block of platinum in a cow pat, no particular offence meant to the other innumerable passable shows littering the fringe this year. If you haven't, and have the chance, see 'Other People' while you can. Any fan of comedy will rue the day they saw some other dross instead of this.

I laughed so much my turban nearly fell off.

This show has the best material in Edinburgh. Quotable lines and above par performances. I only wish that the play had been better edited to form a cohesive whole and not just a vehicle for great lines. This could have been an affecting and magic comedy, instead it is a comedy packed full of magic lines. Still a must see.

One of the best I've been to. These two will be in the game for a long time.
