Review by Andrew Broadbent | 01 March 2026

Andrew Kay, Nic Doodson, Ben Mann and Josh Haberfield have co-created …Earnest?, producing a very individualised performance each evening with great affect by the audience in attendance. The team and the well-oiled cast have pulled apart the mechanics of “Are You Being Earnest?” and turned the 3-act Oscar Wilde classic into a 75-minute chaotic ball of thunder, culminating in some brilliant work for audience members to take part in.

…Earnest is playing at Gluttony across the entire Fringe season, and it’s 75 minutes you really won’t mind giving up in support of the arts.
