ABSOLUTE MONOPOLY
★★★★★ – EdFringeReview
“Benjamin Alborough commanded audience attention with a game show host charisma, which made his audience comfortable enough to heckle and yet terrified to go for a piss.”
★★★★★ – Three Weeks
“This the only show where I’ve ever wanted to become involved. The results are compelling viewing and the crowd is in hysterics throughout. I honestly forgot I was reviewing”
★★★★★ – North West End
“Trust me, you will want to get involved in this well-crafted one-of-a-kind comedy show.:
★★★★½ – one4review
“A 100mph dash around the board taking no prisoners to jail while leaving a destructive trail of comedy in his wake”
★★★★ – Chortle
“Either he wasn’t too far away from Wogan to begin with, or the spirit of Wogan has left something of itself in Alborough’s soul, because he makes a brilliant light entertainment host.”
★★★★ – The Recs
“Benjamin Alborough presides over the madness with a bamboozled Mephistophelian charm, slyly keeping the plates spinning while simultaneously delighting in every time they clatter to the ground.”
★★★★ – Binge Fringe
“Satirises the depressing reality of an unaffordable housing market with goofy and innocent stunts egged on by crowd heckling. He works with the crowd to mock capitalism, neoliberalism and ridicule one another– so come prepared to get involved”
LMAOnaise
“It’s unruly to the extreme, and Ben has a really rather genius way of dealing with the crowd: to go along with absolutely everything.”
CREAM TEA AND INCEST
★★★★★ – West-End Wilma
