Review by:

David Crawford

Starting from a preposterous premise – Alice and boyfriend Mitch have drug-fuelled sex with gay flatmate Richie; Alice gets pregnant; all three decide to raise baby together – this rambunctious comedy manages to get hearty, and frequently filthy, laughs from its unlikely situation.

The three leads, Amy Huberman, Stephen Wight and Emun Elliott, have the easy rapport of true friends; Wight seems to be channelling Russell Tovey (a good thing) and Huberman is brilliant as the fretful Alice – the fear on her face as she enters a pram shop made me laugh out loud.

The humour is suitably broad for the subject matter – there are enough drinks, drugs and sex tonight to fuel a Trainspotting sequel – but there are neat gags, and a wonderful bit of physical comedy involving an escalator, a mobile phone and the results of a sperm test.
