Clever, funny, honest
25 May 2017
This is an evening of laughs, total honesty and occasional out there sexual content. But all part of the fascinating story of David's family and his mother in particular. If she was still here she would be delighted I am sure.
Personal but very genuine and touching.

David Baddiel my family not the sitcom
24 May 2017
Wow what a show. We laughed non stop as we expected but it was so well written and personal. THere were sad bits throughout and I haven't stopped thinking about it and it's been four days since the show. Really recommend people to see it before it ends.

My family
18 May 2017
My wife and I saw the show yesterday on the recommendation of a friend and thought it was going to be mainly about his dads dementia it turned out to be more about his rather remarkable mother and his own emotions.
We both thought the first half was a little slow but made us smile a lot. The second half on the other hand was laugh out loud funny and very poignant , we would certainly recommend it to friends.
Mr B made a remarkable job of being funny, gentle and truthful and his love and pride in his parents was very touching and thought provoking.
Congratulations on a wonderful afternoons entertainment

This show has everything-it's very funny, quite shocking and very touching. David Baddiel is a great story teller and at times an excruciatingly truthful one. Can't recommend this show highly enough.

Heard such a lot about this so had to check it out for my self, how true a lot of what David said about life. I cried and laughed, laughed and cried!!! Some parts of his show are very touching and sad but something's will make your hair curl but thank you to David Baddel mum for bringing such talent to us.

Makes Eddie Murphy look like Arthur Askey.
3 May 2017
There is an old video of an Eddie Murphy stand-up routine called 'Raw' which is billed as controversial but David Baddiel's show trumps that. Some people may find the subject matter difficult (I'm restoring this word to it's rightful place in the English language instead of the ubiquitous 'challenging') and uncomfortable but I laughed throughout. The whole performance is underpinned by honesty and David is commendably truthful. Of course genuine honesty can be very awkward and disconcerting but it reinforces the deep affection he has for his parents with all their faults and the entire show is tribute to them .

26 April 2017
This was a show that kept you guessing as to what will happen next. David Baddiel I felt broke new and important topical ground in telling his family story. It was very funny at times, other times quite shocking. Lots of people experience the sort of problems he has in families and so will be able to relate to the subject matter. His light hearted manner in telling his story is to be applauded I feel.

24 April 2017
I was initially a bit shocked by all the swear words flying around but the bottom line is that this is an affectionate and sincerely felt tribute to his parents by David Baddiel. I even shed a tear at the end.
David is a very relaxed performer and gifted communicator and handled the Q and A session at the end very gracefully too. I would recommend this show to anyone interested in family . As it's near Jubilee gardens,an added bonus is that you can have a wander among the tulips before the show.

Clitoris on fire
23 April 2017
David Baddiel manages to
set the clitoris of his mother on fire and we still
totally understand and believe that his show is an attempt
to respect her memory. A remarkable
achievement as comedian. And as son.

Thoughtful and funny
21 April 2017
A brave exposition of David Baddiel's parents as told in his own words. With his mother recently passing and his father having dementia. The inside story of David's relationship and discovery of his parents. At times emotional and sometimes hilarious, laugh at things you would possibly not normally laugh at. See this show and get the proof that laughter IS the only medicine.

Very candid, funny, revealing account about David Baddiel's family whilst he was growing up and his poignant reflections in his middle age; done to a 'stand up' repartee. I loved it.

David Baddiel - My Family: Not the Sitcom
20 April 2017
Started off shakily with an over dependence on
social media which I find a totally pointless, but when he actually started & described his family & various anecdotes it was amusing. David seemed to be disappointed at the lack of raucous laughing but it was a good natured amusement from the audience which I felt was appropriate. He was trying too hard & seemed to be criticising the audience for not laughing more. When he relaxed into the show so did the audience.

Breathtakingly honest. An no holds barred conversation with the audience whose slack jaw prevents reply. Candour like this does not come along often. Great work. And doubtless all true. Not embarassing as so engaging. The Q&A at the end helped with closure.
