Look no further for a positively side-splitting show of tomfoolery that’ll keep you rolling on the floor laughing. - Bridget Hutchings, Fringe Feed
Oliver has instant access to a seemingly infinite funny face library and can contort his putty face in a micro-second. - James Murphy, Scenestr
Swedish clown Oliver Nilsson shines in an hour of madcap theatre that will both tickle your funny bone and break your heart. - Tom Bowden, The Advertiser
