About this show
Noah's in charge, and you're all animals!! Embarking on his first cruise ship contract, newly single Noah flees his old life in search of stardom on the ark. Finding himself caught up in cosmic plans much larger and apocalyptic than he could have anticipated, he must find ways to keep the existential dread (and animal couples) at bay. Nathaniel Jones writes and performs in 2 BY 2, a Noah's Ark character comedy about a cappella, the apocalypse, and stepping up at work. Directed by award-winning director Sam Smith.

We have captured 1 published review and 20 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.
Jones is clearly in his element in this camp character comedy, a style that represents a major shift from his meditative, folkloric work Sing, River.
