What the reviewers said
We have captured 2 published reviews and 4 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
At just one hour long, the show is perfectly paced for families. It’s long enough to deliver a wide variety of acts yet short enough to keep younger viewers engaged from start to finish.

Traditional circus skills, wonderful performers, a terrific clown and a room full of kids completely enchanted by what they were watching.
