It's marvelously entertaining as he switches masterfully between different characters and accents always with great subtlety and endearing humour.

An absolute must watch! Andrew does incredible character work and has us completely locked in to a beautifully woven, touching and completely hilarious narrative. Solo shows are notoriously hit or miss, and this one is a smashing hit. ... full review

It’s rare these days to see a show that presents a different side of Russians—not the usual stereotypes of criminals or mafia members, but something more human and nuanced. As a Russian myself, I’m especially grateful for that. Although Andrew is British, his command of the Russian language is remarkable, and he delivers a true masterclass in British dialects. I absolutely loved the show. Go check it out—you won’t regret it!... full review

Andrew Byron demonstrates a feat of dialect, stamina, and physicality as he represents all players in this bustling cast of characters. A delightful and heart-warming story that is sure to entertain everyone.... full review

A Comical and light hearted story while staying grounded in the tough realities people escaping an oppressive homeland face when entering a foreign society that doesn't always immediately accept them. Entertaining and well composed!... full review
