CB Perplexed

Disappointing, we are now introduced to fourth wall shenanigans. This is a poor development. Breaks the flow of the actual show and the witty dialogue. When the wall is broken, it adds nothing other than distracts the listener’s concentration and bores them with the writers dull ego, not funny in the least. Like a Xmas special of Mrs Browns Boys with spies. Vandalism of the most clumsy kind.
Another great production
