Cool New Planet!! is a comedy sketch show written and performed by comedy duo Spooky Dookie. The pair are Claire McFadden and Maureen Monahan, who have a large pile of comedy script writing credits between them.
— Starburst (3 out of 5 stars)
Character acting from McFadden is particularly impressive, as she takes on a perverted shadow, a deadbeat boss and a useless boyfriend with conviction and commitment.
— The Student (4 out of 5 stars)
