About this listen

A gloriously mad desert island romp - complete with zombies, walrus pirates and a talking goldfish called Albie.

Like Robinson Crusoe on acid, it follows the adventures of Isaac, a shipwrecked sailor whose boat is sunk by a excess of radio sound effects and is then washed up in a tropical paradise where warring tribes compete to pay homage to a giant Sea beast called Gary.

A fast-paced gag fest which is a splendid mix of music hall and surreal nonsense, which is fresh, intriguing and laugh-out-loud funny.

couldn't tell you anything about this 'comedy' as after 5 minutes my brain had had enough of the tedium and switched to neutral. Back to the drawing board for the writer

No

Any additional comments?

I cannot see this as a series. It reminded me of a 1970s rag week magazine written by the young ones, and I don't mean the actors but their characters.

Not my cup of tea

Any additional comments?

I most definitely am not the market these comedies are written for but, having downloaded them, I feel obliged to comment. However, having said that, I can still appreciate the witty and clever writing skills of the authors.
Of the five, I preferred, Working For The Big Man, but I must be honest and say, were they produced as a full length book, I would not buy any of them.

Witty, Clever and Unusual

Didn't engage me, found it annoying, possibly trying too hard. Perhaps I'm not in a sufficiently receptive mood, but just not for me.

I was hoping for a goonesque half hour but unfortunately it was more like a chuckle brothers disaster.

Disappointing and disjointed.
