"I just wanted to say a big thank you to all the team at Chain Reaction for the brilliant sketches you performed at the 'Poverty Bites' seminar. Not only were they funny and entertaining but they also conveyed, in exactly the right tone."
— Kate McGeary, Shropshire Health Promotion Service, Primary Care Trust
"Everyone Loves Me may be one of the best musicals on the fringe this year. It's a magnificent, funny, and brilliant entertainment that grips and delights from start to finish, snap up a ticket now rather then when it hits the west end."
— Fringe Report
"It exceeded my expectations, I would not hesitate in recommending your company to others — high standard of performance, informative and enjoyable"
— Sue Henry, PSHE Co-ordinator, Star Primary School, London Borough of Newham
"Pretty Please is easily one of the funniest, fluffiest concoctions to appear in a long time on the fringe. Writer Peter Tennant has lovingly crafted a hysterical, tawdry tale and thanks to brilliantly comic performances, the whole is reminiscent of the League of Gentlemen with lip gloss... It is Tennant's book and the aching sincerity of the performances that really make this a great show with all the ingredients of a cult classic."
