If it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month or even your year…then this quick-witted and quirky show is bound to cheer you up – and the bigger the Friends fan you are, the better this will be…

Packing an incredible 236 episodes, and ten seasons of this show into one hour is a feat in itself, and with some clever use of songs and a little artistic licence with the timeline, they just about manage ! Mainly centred around the on/off again storyline of Ross and Rachel’s love life, the reals stars of this performance are the hilarious snippets of other cast members including Gunther, Janice with her amusingly accurate nasal tones and girl from the copy shop. Original songs added to the joy in this energetic performance with Richard’s moustache even getting it’s own lyrical magic…

Extra credit goes out to Tim Edward’s portrayal of Chandler, which was meticulous, down to every single hand gesture. This won’t be to everyone’s taste, but for the young Friends fan in our household, this was absolutely perfect, and she was totally engrossed !

My mini reviewer said: ‘ I liked the secrets song best, and Janice was absolutely hilarious…
