About Interactive Theatre Australia in General:

"What an incredible evening we all had!  Everyone who attended had a fantastic time, and they have been talking about nothing else for days!  The evening was everything that we had hoped for, and more. 

Thank you so much for the cheerful assistance that you have provided ... trying to organise a staff function can be a monumental task.  To my delight the staff at interactive organised and coordinated the entire event.  I dealt with one person who was friendly, professional, easy to contact, and completely flexible with the number of unique demands associated with our event, including the dietary needs of some of our staff members.  The peace of mind this afforded was priceless!

The flexibility offered by Interactive Theatre in regards to brief, budget, theme, meals, in short, everything was fantastic."

Roving Characters - Band-HotSauce & DJ:  "The Officer's Mess Autumn Ball was most enjoyable and the entertainment provided by Imagination Workshop contributed to the success of the function. In particular, the band HotSauce was professional and impressive."

Tanner Jeffrey

Roving Character - Manuel: "Performer was great. Spot on time, very funny and played part to perfection. Discreet exit which was good. Unfortunately our numbers were down and this changed the atmosphere and made his task difficult. People participated in performance and enjoyed his performance."

Patricia Cranfield

Shine Lawyers - 16-04-07


Roving Characters - Elvis and Austin:  "We were very impressed with Alastair's performance as both Elvis and Austin Powers.  He was a natural at playing Austin, almost better than the real thing! 

The songs he made up as Elvis were very clever and went with the theme of the conference perfectly.  We would definitely use him again."

Linda Parker

Sergeant Major Barker - Training session host: "Just a quick note to say thanks for hooking us up with Sergeant Major Barker.  The night went well and the feedback was very good.

Tony might be a bit too good at the acting thing, though.  I overheard a phone conversation this morning that went something like this:

'No, Sergeant Major Barker was someone we hired....  A character actor....  No, no, he wasn't from the military....  Yes, that's right ... an actor'.

Unbelievable."

About Faulty Towers the Dining Experience:

"Very professional & hilarious. Loved by all that attended. Will definately use again. Thank you!"

Nina-Jay Molina - 31-12-07


"From the minute they entered our pre dinner drinks area the performers had litterally won over the crowd. The naturalness with which they took on their characters was so amazing. Most people looked gobsmacked. I really felt I was one of those unfortunate patrons of Fawlty Tower. Honestly, can't rave enough. Everyone was in stitches especially me as I ended up being one of the props! It was as life like and so professional. My husband loved it and he sure is a bit of a hard egg."

Kathy Gough - 20-12-07


"Thank you, Anna for your professionalism in the lead up to the performance.

The Faulty Towers Dining Experience was one to be remembered!!! Our staff are still laughing. Thank you for a great experience."

Brenda McCarthy - 15-12-07


"Thank you very much for your wonderful service Anna. Our Christmas Party turned out to be a wonderful night. Everyone commented on the night and again at work on Monday, that it was our best Christmas Party yet.

So thank you everyone at Scheider Electric!

We wish you a safe and Happy Christmas."

Peita Morrison

"All staff and guests had a ball. Excellent performance by performers. Scripts, accents and dress were exactly like the show. Well done. Great night had by everyone. Young and old alike. Fabulous entertainment."

Brenda Schischka

Harcourts Redcliff - 15-12-07


"The Faulty Towers performers were absolutely fantastic, everyone really enjoyed their performance on the night. They interacted with our guests as they got up and accepted awards making it a very comical night. The performers worked in our little requests on the night which was greatly appreciated. I would recommend this performance to anyone who has an event coming up and wanted to do something different."

Jessica Peters

"Was more than I expected! I always stress that the staff will have fun at xmas functions and they did! I just sat back and enjoyed it all. Highly recommend to other companies."

Anya Hunter

Motorama Group - 10-11-07


"The response we receive from our patrons is fantastic, we have repeat guests and the first time guests just rave about the show. Hayley is always very helpful and patient with our questions."

Everton Park Hotel


"We thoroughly enjoyed the performance! There was not a moment during the entire show that we didn't think we were literally eating inside the hotel of Faulty Towers. The likeness of Basil to John Cleese is uncanny and we completely lost ourselves in the fantasy. We thought all three performers were incredible and we'll definitely be going to the show when it comes back for the Fringe Festival.

My wife and I haven't laughed so hard in a longtime. Between finding a surprise in our soup, to admiring Manuel's ass! The entire show was hilarious! We have no trouble (and will definitely be!) recommending the Dining Experience to everyone that we talk to about it.

From both my wife and I we'd love to thank Interactive Theatre Australia but especially the three Faulty Towers performers for a brilliant night out! We were extremely impressed!"

Paul Kuhnast

Rob Szivatz

"Excellent show, great audience reaction, very appropriate timing of performance. No bad feedback received, everyone loved it."

Marney Sanford/Sandra Perez - 16-10-07


"I have attended a lot of conferences and I would say it was one of the most entertaining nights that we have seen.

Thank you for an enjoyable evening."

Effie Koursis - 11-10-07


"We had a wonderful night. It was a different kind of function for a hens party, but the hen had a wonderful night. We are all looking forward to seeing Austin Powers in the future."

Anna Theo - 08-09-07


"Booking the Faulty Towers as the first part of entertainment for our 4 day convention was a great idea. They kicked off the evening just the way we needed - helped relax everyone and get them into a great mood. It set the tone for our event - everyone was laughing all night and was great to catch a few people by surprise with some of the antics.

Manuel was amazing - the similarities to the real character were incredible."

Jodie Parker

Kingmill T/A Thrifty Car Rental - 26-07-07


"Yep we had a good time, we were kinda nervous the whole way through wondering what would be done to us, haha. We were the youngest couple there (19 and 20) so the next up from us, I say would of been around 40. So we did stand out in the crowd. It was very funny.

I got out the Fawlty Towers DVD's and have started watching them, I must say the dinner was much funnier than the show itself."

Angela Purdy


"Our audience absolutely loved the performance. Many commented that their jaws were sore from laughing. Brilliant; flexible; fantastic

Thank you for a very enjoyable, very memorable evening."

Wendy LeCornu

Australian Coal Preparation Society - 14-03-07


"Our group found the show very entertaining and responded well during the entire show. The performers full it off completely! Thanks for making our evening one that will be remembered for a very long time."

Clara Hornley


"Booking 'Faulty Towers' as the first part of entertainment for our 4 day Convention was a great idea.  They kicked off the evening just the way we needed - helped relax everyone and get them into a great mood.  It set the tone for our event - everyone was laughing all night and was great to catch a few people by surprise with some of the antics.  Manuel was amazing - the similarities to the real character were incredible."

"It took people a while to get into the swing of the "roving" performance, but the comments we've had back have been overwhelmingly positive and we all enjoyed the performance immensely."

Lois Jewell

Eos Solutions - 28-11-06


"It was great to have the characters meet'n'greet the guests as they arrived.  It set the scene for the rest of the night. Having the characters up there on the dance floor with the other dancers also gave an extra visual bonus for the spectators. The performers were really flexible and it was great at the start, when they offered to work two sessions combined to keep the impact of their characters on arriving guests."

Belinda Waters

Parsons Brinckerhoff


"Everyone loved the show. The performers were very professional and put on a fantastic performance.  It was hilarious to watch and, for some, to be part of the show. Perfect for our Christmas Party.  Thank you."

 

Karen Babbidge

"Just wanted to let you know that after all the time we spent trying to arrange the booking for our group, it was well worth the effort. We all had a great time last night at St Pauls, even the more recalcitrant members of our party. The Faulty Towers group were superb, it was hard to keep telling ourselves that they were not the real characters. The food was plain, but very enjoyable, and certainly recommending the evening to my friends."

Janet Rogers

Audience member - St Pauls on Leichardt - 25-11-06


"I just wanted to say what a fantastic time everyone from our party at TGA Pastry Company Pty Ltd had at your restaurant Harley Street Brasserie on Sunday night. I've had many phone calls and emails thanking us for the fabulous night and the fun they had. The Faulty Towers theme is a definite winner but also the whole evening from the drinks and canapes downstairs to the dessert was faultless. Congratulations and I look forward to seeing you again soon."

Sue Warne

TGA Pastry Company Pty Ltd


"Very Good!  I throughly enjoyed the performance. Great value for food and entertainment in one setting!  (I tried to catch the cast before leaving, but was in a sense dragged away).

Had I known where I was going I would have loved to watch my Fawlty DVDS and got in the role of the American ordering a Waldorf Salad or the like. I was so tempted!  And when I was close ... I baulked."

Michael Uebergang

"We all had a great night and throughly enjoyed the antics of Basil Faulty, Sybil and Manuel. We were still laughing and discussing it over the weekend. Dinner and show was good value for money."

Jayne Rohrs

Audience members - Calamvale Hotel - 24-11-06

"We had a wonderful evening (even if I did get false teeth in my soup) - our 18 year old son is still talking about it."

Lester Reichle

Audience member - Calamvale Hotel - 24-11-06


"Had a great night and throughly enjoyed the show. Plan to return and bring adult children. Have already recommended others to go."

Jan Harvey

"The performers were first rate."

Tony Lawrence

Audience member - The Coffee Club 10-11-06


"The show was really wonderful. I was impressed with both the calibre of acting and how the three of them succinctly portrayed Basil, Sybil and Manuel. Lots of belly laughs .... Very impressed with the performance, their ability to improvise and read audience members. Lots of happy faces."

Penny Cowell

"I just wanted to say how much our family enjoyed our dinner and theatre experience on Saturday night at Alexander's Bar and Restaurant.

We had a wonderful time from 6 year old Courtney-Rad (Manuel and Basil will remember her) to my parents and Dad's brother (in their 80's).  In our party were visitors from Victoria, New South Wales and ACT.

Thanks to all the actors. The meal and service were excellent as well. It was a great choice to celebrate Mum and Dad's 60th wedding anniversary."

Cheryl McPhie

"We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening with Basil, Sybil and Manuel. Almost choked at one stage because I was laughing so much! Well done!! Amazing how they adapted to suit the situation."

Asoki Jayawardhana

Public show audience members - Alexander's Metropolitan Motor Inn


"Please thank all the crew who helped out at the Faulty Towers night for our opening night at Seasons ... we were thrilled with the night and can't wait to organise the next one ... Mildura loved them!!  So thanks and hope to see you all again soon."

Mandy and Andy Williams

Owners "Seasons" Restaurant - Mildura


"This is the 4th time I have seen the show, so certainly am a fan.  I have seen 3 different crews.  A great laugh, and enjoyed by everyone in our group that we have invited each time."

Sandra Hendricks

Public Show audience member - Coffee Club, Mt Gravatt


"We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and thought that the person doing Basil was as close a look-a-like as one could get.  Mannerisms, stance, tonality of voice etc spot on.... The interaction was spot on and I found myself at one stage holding a fire extinguisher for Basil.  We laughed and laughed and appreciated the sort of sub-plots entwined.... In all a great night's entertainment."

Barry Moore - Guest at St Pauls on Leichhardt Public show


"The Faulty Towers show was terrific!!!  Everyone had a great laugh and really got into the show. The actors were excellent, ad-libbing as they went.  How can we top this for next years conference???"

Sandra Stack - Retracom


"Fantastic performance!

The performers looked, sounded and carried out the whole feel of the Faulty Towers program.

Well done to the performers!"

Simone Harvey - IGA Distribution


"A wonderful, wonderful night.  The performance is the talk of the town. Polished, professional performers.  Pittsworth can't wait for the next show."

Aaron - Pittsworth Hotel Motel


"Thank you for putting on such a wonderful event. They say laughter is the best medicine. Well there are no sick people around Carindale."

Anya - Hotel Carindale Functions


"Could not have asked for better. Very professional and extremely entertaining. 

Absolutely brilliant.  I have worked with Andrew Nason before and his professional attitude is still up there with the best. I can now add Andrew Foreman to the list of professional entertainers that I wouldn't hesitate to either recommend or hire again.

Both guys did everything asked of them and more, their performances (as Basil and Manuel) had a tough crowd of 200 plus inebriated golfers rolling on the greens and they were both very easy to work with."

Garry Hansen

Minniecon and Burke Pty Ltd Golf Day


"Manuel was great! Everyone loved him. He gave another aspect to my 50th birthday party that all my guests just had so much fun with. We all had so many laughs. I would highly recommend your service to anyone who wants to have fun and lots of laughs on a special occasion."

Sharon McQueen


"The actors are incredibly clever ... the way they can improvise with what is happening around them ... superb ... it was like being on the television series the actors took on their mannerisms and voices so well! "

Sandra Colley

"My husband and I being Fawlty Towers fans thoroughly enjoyed it. I took my children along, being a little hesitant, fearing they would not enjoy it but they can't stop talking about it. In fact I think they have told the whole of Brisbane about it."

Karen Brown

Members of the audience at Alexander's, Metropolitan Motor Inn, 1 April 2006


"I do not know where to begin. I was worried to begin with never having used this type of entertainment before but that was very soon forgotten. Excellent, total professionalism, adapted to any situation that arose during the night, a few people wanted to take Manuel home. Nothing was too much trouble. The entertainment (the actors) were so good that I actually relaxed and enjoyed our Christmas Party, as I could see all our staff and guests enjoying themselves. If you closed your eyes and just listened you would swear you had the 'originals'.  It is always hard to find entertainment to suit everyone's taste and age but I think we hit the jackpot with this.  I could go on and on but that would start sounding like a crazed fan. Thank you, thank you so much for an excellent show and if I need this type of entertainment again you will be the only one I will be ringing."

Cathy Howell

Groutech - 2005 Christmas function


"... wanted to let you know that it was a great start to the convention.  It was a perfect first night for us and we thought that the characters were hysterical."

"Please feel free to use me as a reference at any time.  The level of service and creativity prior to the event, the professionalism over the weekend and the talent of your team were exactly what we needed to take this event to the level beyond anything we have done before."

"Just wanted to let you know that the Faulty Towers Dining Experience was absolutely fantastic.... the performers were not only fantastic in their performance, but truly wonderful to deal with. The owner and staff of the restaurant were just blown away by the whole thing ... Please pass on our congratulations to them for giving 100 people a truly unforgettable night."

"I was lucky enough to enjoy your show at Woodchoppers earlier and recommended the show to my boss.  Enjoyed the second show as much as the first."

Janet Johnston

CNE Constructions Pty Ltd


"Just thought I'd drop you guys a line about your performance at the Texas Motel, 16 February, 2002. I must say that I was spellbound by... oh, no. I must not say I was spellbound. That implies something far more static than the fat-wobbling, gut-busting, face-aching laughter that was Faulty Towers - The Dining Experience. (Though I must admit that an empty soup bowl, an exotic array of cutlery and pre-emptive garnish make for a thoroughly confusing dining experience!)

I was thankful for my overwhelming nicotine addiction when Manuel climbed under the table to recover my sister's knickers while I was trying to sneak back to my seat. I knew she'd do that. You just can't take her anywhere where a waiter might inadvertently pour someone else's wine into her glass! Off with the undies! And I must congratulate Manuel on his chivalry in trying to replace them, just at the moment the rat might have crawled up her leg! Bravo!

Thank you one and all for a delightful performance of one of my favourites. I can't wait to see other shows, though I may have to agitate in Toowoomba, closer to home, for more opportunities.

Break a leg!"
Toni

"WHAT A SHOW!!! We haven't laughed that much in ages! Characters were absolutely SPOT ON!!"

"This is the third time we've seen Faulty Towers, and it just gets better and better!"

"It was just how I imagined dining with Basil, Sybil and Manuel would be."

"..... Faulty Towers Dining Experience act: I would like to say that they were fantastic! The guests really enjoyed them, and they even had the band in stitches whilst they were preparing for the night! Once again many thanks, and I'll be recommending them for other gigs (I'd like to use the AbFab girls in the future too!)."

"'Faulty Towers a hoot'

For those of you who didn't make it to Settlers Motor Inn on Wednesday night for the Faulty Towers dinner - it must be said that you certainly missed one of the best dinner shows in Biloela.

Basil, Sybil and Manuel wowed the diners with their crazy antics and superb sense of humour.

The show began with Basil and Sybil taking everyone's order, and then proceeding to remember which table and to whom the order belonged to.

Without a doubt, one of the highlights of the show was when the chef misplaced his false teeth - they were later recovered, floating in somebody's soup dish.

Needless to say it was a great evening had by all.

Settlers menu was second to none and the staff are to be commended.

I know that the Central Telegraph staff, who attended the dinner, had a memorable night ... and are still laughing."

About Faulty Towers at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival:

"The afternoon was absolutely fantastic - I think perhaps the best thing my family have ever been too.  Can't recommend it enough to everyone.  Other friends tried to book in after we recommended, but it was all sold out.  It was just wonderful.  Our family though we were right there at Faulty Towers!!"

Catherine Sykes

"This was one of the best performances I have been too, and we had a great time!!!"

Sean Aruliah

"They need to come again it was so much fun"

Julie McLean

Audience members:  Templebar Precinct - 12-04-08 (Matinee performance)


"I would like to say we all had a good night, the 3-course dinner was excellent and we loved the Faulty Towers entertainment, it was really good.  The Templebar Precinct was a nice small restaurant which provided a nice atmosphere on the night."

Michael Sims

"The performances were spot on, very well done."

Chris Dayson

"Absolutely hilarious."

Paul Jacobs

Audience members:  Templebar Precinct - 11-04-08


"Had an absolute ball!  The Actors were brilliant, and the likeness in behabiour and appearance was uncanny!  Had reservations as to how they would pull it off, and make us feel like we were part of Faulty Towers, but we really did feel like we could have been in one of the episodes!  We met the actors afterwards as well, and they were happy to banter with us, which just topped off a great night!"

Hollie Dent

"Sensational night.  I have been telling anyone and everyone about it.  Venue was perfect.  No bigger or you would lose the mood.  Value for money and memorable."

Glen Hibberd

"My party of five thought the Faulty Towers actors were excellent ... our faces were aching from laughter after a hilarious show!"

Aimee Smith

"I thoroughly enjoyed the show - I thought it was fantastic!"

Stephen Singer

Audience members:  Pumphouse Hotel - 10-04-08


"What a fantastic experience this was.  From the moment we arrived to chatting with Sybil and being called into dinner and experiencing the lot."

Kevin Bolt

"We thoroughly enjoyed the show, I had my doubts about a theatre restaurant's food, but it was very good.  The performance was excellent, the whole ambience set the scene.  Actors performances were first class, we wish them well in Edinburgh."

Marion McDonald

"Had a great evening, very entertaining."

Emma-Jane Furthy

Audience member:  Pumphouse Hotel - 8-04-08


"As a Fawlty Towers fanatic I wasn't sure what I was going to get, I was only hoping it was going to be half as funny as I find the original.  It more than exceeded my expectations.  I haven't laughed to much and so hard in ages.  By the end of the night my face was aching.  I considered it the best money I had spent in a long time.  The characters were so real I felt that we were sitting in the actual dining room during an episode.  We can't wait to do it again."

Fiona Cain

Audience member:  Pumphouse Hotel - 7-04-08


"Very entertaining and comical.  Definitely recommend.  Keep up the good work"

Diana Sticca

"Performers were excellent - Well done!"

Paige McInnes

Audience member:  Templebar Precinct - 6-04-08


"I really enjoyed the performance.  The actors were not only great at their job but were lovely to interact with after the performance also."

Katherine Smith

Audience member:  Templebar Precinct - 5-04-08


"The show was a great farce and my whole family enjoyed it!  All three members of the cast interacted with all of us and it was well worth it to be personally insulted by Basil Faulty and to see Manuel sitting in my mother's lap!"

Thomas Heeren

Audience member:  Templebar Precinct - 5-04-08 (Matinee performance)


"One of the most enjoyable nights out, full of laughter and cringing whenever Manuel did something wrong!  It was as if I was actually inside an episode of Faulty Towers.  So much fun.  I have already recommended it to all my friends and family and anyone that will listen!"

Belinda Ravenscroft

"I thought it was hilarious and have recommended it to all my friends."

Yvonne Ciric

Audience member:  Templebar Precinct - 4-04-08


"The event was fantastic and hilarious and a very unique way of spending a Sunday evening!  I couldn't believe how like the characters the actors looked - my mum will treasure the photo of herself and Manuel forever!  Good luck at the Edinburgh Festival!  I am certain it will go down very well there."

Jennifer Stewart

Audience member:  Templebar Precinct - 30-03-08


"We had a wonderful night and will recommend the experience to friends and family.  It would be great if you could come to Tassie at some stage, but if not we will travel to Melbourne to see it again next year."

Tammy Axelsen

"Our group had the most amazing time and were still laughing about it several days later."

Kelly Hewitt

"We had a fantastic night - thank you"

Michael Varney

Audience member:  Pumphouse Hotel - 27-03-08


"I thought it was fantastic, thank you ... Are you are interested in having every single audience member talk about the show and insist that other people go along to it?  Just let the audience take photos with you when you're still in costume and that will give them a quick and easy way to show how amazing the resemblance is."

Yvonne Mudgway

Audience member:  Pumphouse Hotel - 24-03-08


"These actors are so true to the characters and very much looked like them, too!  Good interaction with guests.  We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves."

Melody Rewakowski

"Fantastic night all round!"

Luke Scott

Audience member:  Templebar Precinct - 23-03-08

Luisa Adamo

Audience member:  Templebar Precinct - 20-03-08


"We thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Nigel Bell as Basil was tops. My daughters in London ask "When is the show happening in UK?""

Nigel Beresford

Audience member: Cornish Arms - 26-04-07


"Well, we both enjoyed the performance. We thought the performers were very good and so true to type. If you saw them walking down the street, you would think they really were, Sybil and Manuel. We had a good old laugh, but then I am a true fan."

Bill Fone

"Show was fantastic (felt like we were in an episode). My friend who is a HUGE Faulty Tower fan & Producer/Director couldn't believe how authentic the cast was! Well done!"

Amanda Saunder

Audience members: Cornish Arms - 25-04-07


"We had an absolute ball and laughed all night - they were all in character and engaged the audience felt part of it."

Y. Ishigaki

Audience members: Cornish Arms - 24-04-07


"I've been telling others today how good the show was and how talented the actors were. Very very entertaining. Just loved it. The next time I'm looking for a corporate entertainment/ humour company - you're it."

Peter Cahill

"Loved the show. Actors were wonderful and like their TV counterparts!!!"

Robyn Carter

Audience members: Cornish Arms - 23-04-07


"Show was very enjoyable, performers were believable as being the geniune actors."

Darryl Martin

Audience member: Cornish Arms - 22-04-07


"I will admit that when I initially booked a table at the Faulty Towers Dining Experience I was expecting some two dollar worn out unemployed actors. Upon arriving I was immediatly impressed by the high quality of the acting, the facilities and the characterisation. What could well have been a really painfully bad show was pulled off with consumate skill. I would recommend the Faulty Tower Dining Experience to all my friends."

Nikolous Armstrong

"I consider myself as a Fawlty Tower expert, and the performance that I witnessed last night blew me away. The characters costumes, accent, mannerism and even walking styles were uncanny. It was a great experience and I have recommended it to all my family and friends."

Dale Kent

"John and myself had a wonderful night. The food was fabulous as well as the service. The venue was fantastic and the characters, what could you say, it was as if you were in the original Faulty Towers Hotel. We would both love to see the cast again and look forward to once again experiencing the Faulty Towers Dining Experience in Melbourne next year. Top Line Act; 10 out of 10."

"We have already recommended the show to everyone we know, including interstate friends. We had a ball, it really felt like we were part of an episode of Faulty Towers...and we were! The actors were fabulous, it must have been exhausting but they made it look effortless - Thanks for a great night."

"We had such a good night, we could hardly eat! Basil, Sybil and Manuel all had us crying with laughter and we loved being so personally involved in the hilarity. Not for the faint of heart - an excellent night of entertainment and great value for many."

About Faulty Towers at the Adelaide Fringe Festival:

"Very enjoyable night, both entertainment and food was excellent.  (Always great food at this venue).  After the show the actors mingled which was wonderful and generous on their part.  Service staff were involved also and made to feel part of the show; would go again."

Ella Baume

"The entertainers were excellent.  It was our second time to see the show and we enjoyed it just as much the second time.  We will certainly recommend your shows to others.  We took 10 friends to this particular show."

Peter Agars

"Was a great night, actors were great.  I thoroughly enjoyed the night.  I would most definitely see the show again along with recommend it to others."

"My fiance is a huge Fawlty Towers fan and didn't stop laughing all night.  Actually - neither did I!  It was a fantastic show.  The performers were amazing."

Kerrie Klinsic

Audience member:  Strathmore Hotel - 14-03-08


"Enjoyed it so much, wish there were more interactive performances like Faulty Towers!!  Performers stayed in character at all times, as I found out, when I asked Manuel a question about the meal and he got me so flustered with his accent and not being able to understand what I was asking, I told him to "Nick off then!!" and he responded with a remark about the Russian chef!!  All cast members were excellent in their performance.  Basil, Sybil and Manuel, something we will remember for a long time as a great night out!"

Lesley McCarten

Audience member:  Strathmore Hotel - 13-03-08


"It was a great dinner experience.  We all enjoyed the show very much, including my kids 14 and 11.  Dinner was fantastic and the actors were excellent and hilarious.  The actors closely resembled the original actors and sounded much like them too."

"We gladley participated and had the best night, entertained from start to finish, 10 out of 10, excellent value for money.  Thank you so much.  Hope we see you again."

Judith Koch

Audience member:  Old Adelaide Inn - 1-03-08


"This was one of the best shows myself and my party of 10 have experienced and we have been to lots of Fringe shows over the years.  The performers were absolutely brilliant and worked the audience brilliantly, you simply could not take your eyes off them as you would miss another brilliant performance.  The venue was superb.  Right number of crowd in the audience so that you felt part of the show and not part of the show.  To top it off the food and service was brilliant.  A most enjoyable night and one we will be looking for in future Fringe Festivals.

Paul Henschke

"We were amazed at how the characters were so like the originals.  They were hilarious and very professional taking on their roles throughout the entire evening from our welcome by Basil to Manuel showing photos of his ass and his sister's ass, to Sybil constantly on Basil's back.  Each character played their part beautifully.  We were sorry when the evening ended.  We have highly recomeended this show to our friends and family and would certainly recommend it to anyone."

Christine Dunt

"This was the second time that I had attended the Faulty Towers performance at the Strathmore Hotel and it was fantastic.  We had a ball and will definitely go again."

Jo Murray

Josh Beck

Audience member:  Strathmore Hotel - 28-02-08


"This is my second Faulty Towers dining experience.  It is so worth seeing again as the details could really be enjoyed straight away and were not delayed while the punter is recovering from the shock!  It was great ... funny, fun and incredibly authentic.  For a Fawlty Towers fan, actually being a part of the event is a great experience.  A fantastic performance from the cast, who are remarkably like the originals!"

Donna Hilleson

"A great show, would certainly go again.  My guests also thought it was fantastic"

About Austin Powers:

Shane Charles - 21-12-07

Julia Watt

Gene Mulder

"We have nothing but praise and gratitude for Tony's performance. He was so well organised, arrived promptly, was very cooperative, and very supportive to us in all ways. His sense of humor and his ability to ad-lib were outstanding, and his songs were very professionally deilvered (and funny!)."

"Our friends commented that he mingled so well that they thought he was one of our "outrageous" friends that they hadn't met!  His performance is still being talked about among our friends as if it was just yesterday, they were so thrilled and enjoyed it so much. It was the most memorable birthday I've had, and Tony added tremendously to the experience. We highly recommend him to others."

Ian and Bobbi Patterson


"I just had to say how thrilled I was with the performance last Saturday night with our Austin Powers show for John Stevenson's 60th birthday party at the Wynnum Manly Yacht Club.

Some people were absolutely speechless that we had such a thing and there were many people totally enthralled with the whole performance. So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you very much for the many hours of fun and frivolity, your professionalism and patience during the night. We all had a ball."

Janet


"The best looking Austin impersonator we've seen."

About Murder on the Menu:

"Fiona did a great job involving the guests from the moment they arrived. The evening moved along quickly with just  the right amount of time allocated to each activity. It was a fun evening. We would definitely involve your company in any future team-building activities and would be please to recommend your company to others."

Cindi Gosden

"From start to finish the whole experience was well organised and complete fun for everyone. The fact that each character was involved and had some part in the evening made it very enjoyable to all. Our staff had a great night. Thank you very much."

Josephine Seaton

Ringwood and Ply Pty Ltd


"The Powerlink group thought it was a fantastic night.  They all enjoyed themselves immensely ... in fact they were still discussing theories at midnight.  It was very professional and the way the night was tailored to our theme was terrific.  Everyone took their envelopes of clues with them after it finished.  A terrific night enjoyed by all. A great team building exercise. Thank you for making a great night."

Linder Calder

Powerlink


"What an incredible evening we all had!  Everyone who attended had a fantastic time, and they have talked about nothing else for days!

It took a little while for everyone to get their bearings, but once our nametags were on and we had digested our briefs, mingling with each other and the interactive characters were exciting and energising. I am amazed at how much I enjoyed being completely out of my depth, and how quickly, with the aid of your skilled acting team, that we all caught the spirit of the evening and became engrossed in the intrigue!

Ricky Presco and Mama Rae were incredible. They were larger than life, very entertaining; they set the tone for the evening, and guided our enquiries into fruitful and not so fruitful areas. The actors worked well with the dynamics of the group, exchanging fire with the more spirited members, teasing facts out of the shyer members, and respecting the PG rating that we wanted for the evening.

The story and character handouts were excellent. The story was coherent and comprehensive; every detail was covered and complimented the rest of the story. Characters were rich and deep, offering lots of teasing hints, red herrings, and scope for imagination. As a group we achieved a shared state of suspended reality.

The event was truly enjoyable and memorable. Thank you for a job very, very well done."

Adelle Main

Marketing Manager

Witbrook Office Interiors


"The day was a complete success.... we were certainly entertained by the 'murder' over lunch with the performers doing a great job to get everyone into the spirit of the game.

This concept was totally new to us as previously these staff away days have been based around physical activities eg climbing ropes, building rafts etc. so a more relaxed day like Murder on the Menu and at a great location like Glengarrif Estate was certainly what the staff needed."

Sonya Harrison

Ernst and Young


"Due to the nature of our company set-up, some staff work outside our office. Our Christmas party was a great success due to the 'glue' provided by the performers bringing everyone together and encouraging people to get up and mingle in order to work out who the Murderer was.  Many thanks for a very enjoyable evening."

Bronwyn Saunders

"Love these shows - very funny, audience loves them - a great night out for all concerned."
