"At just 70 minutes, it’s ideal for children (and parents of all ages) and the two actors enjoy terrific rapport with youngsters. Gore-geously grisly!"

"Barmy Britain is a brilliantly fun piece of educational theatre that taught this history graduate a few new things and kept my son enthralled. History teachers of Great Britain, it’s time to up your game!"

"This funnily uproarious and surprisingly informative romp through the madder, badder moments of British history is perfect!"

"Is this any way for children to learn about history? Too right it is! If lessons were always like this, kids would be queuing up at the school gates every morning!"

"The Horrible Histories stage shows have become a bit of a British institution. It’s not hard to spot why. Think Fry and Laurie, mixed with Little Britain and a dash of Monty Python. It’s sparky, cheeky and covered in poo!"

"Horrible Histories brings the bloody story of Britain throbbingly alive in this hilarious show from the excellent Birmingham Stage Company. Bloody, marvellous stuff!"

"Anarchic, cheeky, illuminating fun - a little fact-packed gem!"

"Blood, guts and gross gags - a sharp 70 minutes through centuries of our island's barminess!"
