The Comedy About A Bank Robbery Tickets

Bernard's review

The second time I've seen this show and it was funnier than last time. Subtle changes to the cast changed the dynamic and keep it fresh.

Insanely brilliant....

Great laugh

If you like slap-stick silly comedy and men losing their trousers, good-timing farce with non-stop laughter then this is for you.

Alan London Box Office customer

FUNNY,FUNNY,FUNNY.

The show was really funny, with great singing. Good story line, music was great. I would recommend this show to all ages above 10. I would recommend this show to all my friends.

lisa London Box Office customer

Very funny

Janet London Box Office customer

Overrated, puerile humour

I was really disappointed with the Comedy About A Bank Robbery as it had been so well reviewed previously. After a wonderful pre-theatre dinner at One Ham Yard I settled down happily to enjoy the show ...only to be sadly mistaken. The comedy was unsophisticated and over-obvious slapstick rather than the 'thrillingly and daringly inventive farce' that I was expecting. The first half raised not even a chuckle or a guffaw from me I'm afraid so I left at interval, preferring an early night and some re-runs of the still very funny Yes Minister series instead.

Alison London Box Office customer

Funny

Made me laugh with its fast wit and humour

Sue London Box Office customer

What a laugh!!

I have seen 'the play that goes wrong' and thought it couldn't be beaten but I enjoyed this even more. And love the creative stage sets!!!

Rhiannon London Box Office customer

Fantastic cast a must see

We were at the back of the stalls which initially concerned me because I have poor eyesight but when the actors came out I was pleasantly surprised, my view was good although towards the end we did have to look at the screens in front to see the top half of the stage but my husband and I found this hilarious . I laughed so much I hurt my sides and that's a good thing.

Tania London Box Office customer

Hilarious

Lilika London Box Office customer

Hilariously brilliant

Didn't know quite what I was expecting but it surpassed anything I had in mind. Witty, creative and unique, this show is a must see even for unseasoned theatregoers and those who aren't the biggest fans of shows involving music. The acting was superb. The intense build up of comedic scenes were edge of the seat periods of breath holding and gaze fixing. One of the best shows I've seen in a long time.

Millie London Box Office customer

Every joke in one play!

Barry London Box Office customer

Non-stop , action and fun play

Suitable for 13+ Good family fun. A good plot which was fun and full on. We all had a good time.

Bernice London Box Office customer

My friend recommended the show and I had no expectations going into it. I laughed the whole time and was raving about it to everyone I know afterward! I would highly recommend this show.

Andrea London Box Office customer

Very clever and quite funny

Linda London Box Office customer

Kookie, Slapstick Humour.

Do you like slapstick comedy? This is for you in particular. Strong acting. Highly enjoyable to watch. Families with kids under 12, there are a couple of scenes that may embarrass you!! Overall a fab night out. The Criterion Theatre is worth a visit show or no show.

Sharron London Box Office customer

Bridgitte London Box Office customer

Madcap Mishaps Galore

Had so much fun watching A Comedy about a Bank Robbery. Full of madcap mishaps and slapstick humour we were laughing from ear to ear the entire show. It went so fast which goes to show it had us hooked right from the start. Good old fashioned comedy. Highly recommended.

Sandra London Box Office customer

Prepare to laugh!

Jane London Box Office customer

Lots of fun

Light hearted comedy, typically British so unlikely to be produced at home.

Karen London Box Office customer

This show is really funny, very entertaining and a must see comedy in the West End. The laughs started from the very beginning right until the end. There was never a moment where the family wasn't on the edge of their seat laughing! One of the best shows ever - we would highly recommend! Suitable for everyone 10 to 100 years old!!! Loved it and want to see it again!

Absolutely Hilarious!

Mark London Box Office customer

Brilliant show for all

Just really good. Everything was superb, very funny and extremely enjoyable. A great nights entertainment.

Andrew London Box Office customer

Brill

This show was so silly but so funny and entertaining. The plot was obviously about a bank robbery gone wrong and did it! The cast played a variety of rolls and one in particular, the guy who was hit numerous times or knocked down was exceptional. The stunts were brilliant, don't want to give too much away but the three people on a rope was some thing else. We came out feeling happy because of all the laughing we done, one or two risqué parts that hopefully go over the heads of children. Lovely old theatre were you go downstairs as it's underground used by the BBC during the Second World War. The interval drinks and ices were better than any cinema, 1.50 for a cup of tea 2.50 for an ice cream tub....pretty good! Seating not too bad for such an old theatre.

Craig London Box Office customer

Total slapstick

Chiat Jin London Box Office customer

Funnier than Expected

I am not a frequent visitor to live shows however, whilst in London I thought a show is a must. From the opening scene it had me laughing and the story was well written and very clever. I'm glad that I made the right decision to see it. Terrence

Terrence London Box Office customer

It really would be a crime to miss out on

This show was great, it was really funny and had some great slapstick comedy bits. I liked the whole 'dr searl ' thing and even the weird girls in the back who gasped - though that last one probably wasn't staged. It's a great treat and well worth going. Mischief theatre is a real treat so definitely see their other performances.

Paul London Box Office customer

Great laugh

Im a very hard person to make laugh but this play had me in stitches.Great comical timing good jokes and brilliant acting.Had me grinning all night long this is a must see show

Simon London Box Office customer

Had us howling with laughter.

This play is fast and furious. The scene where you get a bird's eye view of the office is genius. Very, very funny.

Peter London Box Office customer

Great fun and silliness!

Jenny London Box Office customer

Funniest play ever seen

This was the funniest play I have ever seen- I was crying with laughter in some parts- and I wasn't the only one. When it finished, I wanted to watch it all over again. We took our 10 year old son, who also loved it and laughed all the way through. Although there were a few bits that were slightly more 'adult' and a bit of bad language, they weren't done too crudely, so it felt ok.

Parveen London Box Office customer

Absolutely brilliant, I have not laughed so much in a long time. Well done to the cast for the perfect timing and non stop mayhem. Well produced well lit and brilliant stage sets.

Mike London Box Office customer

Silly Pill

Actors kept their energy up thought the whole play and they seemed like they were having fun, too. Visual gags were appreciated. Timing was good. I watched some young boys who were having the time of their life - on the edge of he seats laughing, eyes beamed on the players. Like the stage affectation when it was in a different dimensions.

Katharine London Box Office customer

brill

Julie London Box Office customer

The funniest show ever

Fantastic show didn't stop laughing from beggining to end. Great acting and very clever scenery. Would love to see it again. Well done!

Kristina London Box Office customer

We laughed from the first minute to the last!!

We thoroughly enjoyed the show and laughed from the very first minute until the very end. The cast seemed to thoroughly enjoy it as well. Apparently it was their last show and one of the ladies in the cast even shed a tear at the end. The sets were excellent (were they really hanging vertically or was that an optical illusion??) and the acting superb (great American accents, or were some of the cast American?). We were so glad that we chose this show.

Graham London Box Office customer

The comedy that got it right!

If you've seen the play goes wrong or Peter Pan goes wrong then you'll be right at home here. Laugh out loud with great performances, great sets and great musical numbers. See it before people spoil the special effects. Next stop Hollywood!

Alexander London Box Office customer

Laugh out loud funny!!

We had front row seats and could see the amount of effort the actors put in. Funny from start to finish, great timing, gags, singing and comedy on multiple dimensions! Genius! My friend has a very audible laugh and never stopped, even the cast commented on him at the end! Great night and a must for comedy lovers. Enjoy!

Philip London Box Office customer

Dont see this if you like old fashioned, traditional theatre

If I had known it was Brits doing American accents with improvised scenery I would not have seen it. My fault I didnt realise that

Carol London Box Office customer

An enjoyable show

Good show

Nigel London Box Office customer

good

Derek London Box Office customer

Well Done

GALAL London Box Office customer

Intelligent slapstick

We have seen " the play that goes wrong" and we wanted to see this as that was amazing. - This lives up to that - i was constantly amazing great script - executed beautifully by all the cast in their many believable roles. This is a play that will make you laugh with anticipation it has the hallmark of of the greats of comedy. The Production of set, lights and sound also has to be seen! Lastly - there is mild comic sexual references so I would put this at a plus 14 type show! Well done
