Cooped reviews
"Effortlessly combines the farcical ineptitude of British am-dram with the expertise of four performers who know exactly how to entertain us. It is a dreary definition of culture that demands to parse the 'intellectual value' of the secret of making an audience laugh its head off"
Daily Telegraph
"Cal McCrystal is the brains behind some of the funniest theatre in the last five years"
Independent on Sunday
"Spymonkey promise a 'carefully crafted brand of lunacy' and they deliver. I defy you to maintain a straight face! Highly recommended. On the first night, and the whole house was totally reduced to uproarious laughter"
Theatreworld.net
“So funny it would be ridiculous to miss it... There are puns, sight gags, a disco song, a peerless parody of Crouching Tiger’s martial magic and a nude pastoral dance that made me laugh so much my throat hurt”
The Times
“Utterly infectious... a perfectly paced hybrid of The Pink Panther and Psycho”
The Independent
★★★★★
“One of the best most hilarious shows seen on the Fringe, Cooped is not to be missed...Almost made me lose control of my bladder”
Metro
★★★★
"A creativity explosion... A wonderfully, woefully miscast cast”
The Scotsman
“Imagine Mills & Boon rewritten by Monty Python. Or the muppets doing a cover version of a trashy American Gothic soap. Fling in a fig leaf or three and some brilliantly ditsy clowning and whey-hey! You’re close to being Cooped with Spymonkey... SEE IT!”
The Herald
