News and Reviews for this Show

August 5, 2025  One4Review
Elliot Wengler is a very nice young man. He is a very nice young man with a lot of nervous energy! Performing as part of the Free Fringe is unpredictable and audiences can sometimes be scarce on a Wednesday early evening. Elliot is a trooper and performs the show regardless.

Hailing from an even smaller town than High Wycombe, but close by. We hear of the horror of Elliot’s first kiss. His first extremely unconventional first date resulting in a near drowning through to his first grown up relationship. Oh, and the anticipation of a first holiday together, versus the reality!

The punchlines don’t always land and his timing can be a little rushed but the story telling and his charming, very likeable personality shines through.

He is very funny when describing Wallace & Grommet to an uninitiated American. Very difficult!

The show ends with Elliot recounting, in much detail, his experience of having an endoscopy. Without the aid of anaesthetics! Definitely not recommended. Unlike Elliot himself. I would definitely recommend seeing this show. A very competent and likeable performer with so much potential. Click Here
