The Spectator & TLS

02 September 2004

'These are the most dazzling and self-assured unknown comedians Iâve ever seen. The Îunknownâ wonât last long. Everyone was talking about them.'
The Spectator Full text

'Population: 3 were reprising their 2003 hit, The Wicker Woman, and unveiling a new show on the same principles, The Elephant Woman. These were the funniest things I saw by a wide margin.'
Times Literary Supplement Full text

The Scotsman

23 August 2004

'London movie-spoofers Population:3 had a big hit last year with The Wicker Woman and theyâre back, sharp as ever, updating the terrible true tale of John Merrick, in a riotous and naughty hour.'
The Scotsman Full text

Metro, ThreeWeeks & Independent On Sunday

18 August 2004

'Comedy parodists of the first order whose day in the sun of TV stardom is surely long overdue. A riot from start to finish, this is as side-splittingly funny a slice of ad hoc Victoriana as you could wish to see.'
Metro Full text

'Population: 3 blend bawdy humour and Shakespearean farce to create an outrageous, infantile, yet irresistibly infectious spectacle... a spectacularly silly jaunt which reveals itself as first-rate entertainment.'
ThreeWeeks Full text

'Frankly, you'll have more fun with the mock-gothic doctor and disembowelled puppets in The Elephant Woman, a wildly silly spoof presented by Population:3 at the Pleasance.'
Independent On Sunday

Fest

13 August 2004

'Wielding more comedy and kooky characters than many casts twice their size... James Bachman, Lucy Montgomery and Barunka O'Shaughnessy sparkle on stage with their wit and energy.'
