The actors were fantastic and the show was hilarious and brought back all those episodes of faulty towers that I loved. The venue was absolutely gorgeous but not much leg room. The booking experience through 'the 'head out' app was also super easy so thanks to that company too. Overall a great experience.

We had great seats, but the show was memorable regardless. Good acting and faithful the the original series. The fact that John Gleese is involved is absolutely vital

Like a hotel run by lunatics and lobsters - pure Fawlty chaos, brilliantly bonkers, and legally questionable. Must see!

Basil and Sybil had their intonations down to a tee, and they included the entirety of my favourite episode with Mrs Richards.
