What did your grown-up think about the show?
We are long time Listies fans – their show was the first one we ever encountered that was as funny for the grown ups as for the kids, and they somehow continue to deliver year after year. 110% Ready sees Rich trying to get ready to leave the house while Matt does everything in his power to undermine him. It was actually incredibly triggering as someone who had just spent an hour trying to leave the house while being systematically undermined by a child – truly relatable content for all involved.
Would you tell your friends to go to the show?
O: Obviously, it’s The Listies.
J: I think my friends would go to it.
E: Yes.
The Listies: 110% Ready, Assembly George Square, until 16 Aug (not 13), 1pm
