McGee,” “Piece of My Heart”, “Mercedes Benz”, “Cry Baby” and “Summertime”, a remarkable cast and breakout performances.

What it might be, how we can miss it and how we can find it again…


Like all those who spread mirth for a living, MITCH BENN ("the country's leading musical satirist" - The Times) has been wondering if he's really making a difference, and if this is a POINT to what he - or anybody - is doing.

Edinburgh Reviews

"The man is talent .... I really enjoyed it! The audience all around me seemed to lap up every musical second."…Edinburgh Reviews ****


"As always there is what is for me a highlight, his ‘live looping’ where with the aid of his phone and a few pedals, he builds from scratch a fully orchestrated number in front of ones very eyes",,,One4Review ****


"Mitch Benn may be wondering what _The Point_ is, but to the audience, it’s very clear, making us all laugh until we’re red in the face.  And he does this very well. Bloody funny, go see."…Starburst ****
