Just when it looked as though genuine, big-scale slapstick routines – with masses of paint and water – had disappeared altogether, here is Adams not only sloshing the stuff around the entire stage by the barrow load (yes, literally) but demonstrating a whole raft of brilliant clowning techniques with it. January 20th2005 No Circus Hilarious performance could possibly be complete without a suitably chaotic slapstick routine involving much water and foam, liberally shared with those in the first few rows of the audience… the kids simply love the pre-interval total mayhem.  9th - 15th March 2007 The Slosh scene is truly amazing. To see such masters of the craft like Clive and Danny, assisted by our Company Stage Manager performing this routine is worth the price of admission alone. The crew were watching every second, as were the juveniles.  Clive and Danny exit from the messiest slosh ever performed.  …didn’t seem to mind the odd dousing with water and slosh even- game old girls out for a good time! Newcastle Chronicle  Cinderella 2005 Away from the story line, there are some great scenes, a genuinely side-splitting slapstick sketch involving paint, water and gunk.  Cinderella 2005 …..spraying the crowd with water and foam fights … made this a must see event. February 2006 CLIVE WEBB (Baron Hardup) and DANNY  ADAMS (BUTTONS) are a rare father and son comedy act. They provided zany slapstick and quick fire gags throughout. The well-worn wallpapering sequence never disappoints and is invariably fresh to each new generation of kids. “As always, Clive Webb portrayed the harassed figure of dignity, constantly reduced to frustration and despair by the inane comedy of the supremely talented young comic, his son Danny Adams, whose infectiously fresh personality pervades the whole show.” June 2006 June 2006 “…Clive Webb, Danny Adams and the other comical characters of the show in a breathless and breathtaking melange of comedy.” ....Danny Adams who turns in a show-stealing performance as Buttons… he executes the comedy set pieces with aplomb… The sheer quality of clowning in 2005 was a joy to behold….. My overall favourites were Clive Webb & Danny Adams Hilarious by name – hilarious by nature The audience participation …. literally had tears rolling down my face Express & Star The undoubted stars were once again father and son duo Clive Webb & Danny Adams and we have to ask “Is there a better comedy twosome in the country?” Express & Star Father and son team Clive Webb and Danny Adams’ madcap mix of tomfoolery and fluffed magic tricks has many unique aspects and they left the audience in stitches Sheer and obvious enjoyment Wonderful slapstick comedy-  brought howls of laughter from the audience Their antics scale new heights of incredible controlled lunacy Both children and adults screamed with laughter Circus Hilarious is two hours of mad cap mayhem which allows the stars of the Theatre Royal Pantomime the opportunity to bring their own show to the very venue they pack out every Christmas. After a slightly slow start, the show settles down and delivers the laughs we have come to expect from the father and son team, Clive Webb and Danny Adams. There are jokes and visual gags for all ages and it is more evident than ever that Danny Adams is one of the leading comics in the UK today. While they have won many awards and pack out the Theatre Royal every Christmas, Danny deserves to become a household name for his manic comedy. Supporting Danny and Clive and Cousin Timoni, Mick Potts , Jonny Marx and a fabulous eccentric “Russian Professor” who performs an excellent comedy trampoline act, which is in the true traditions of variety theatre. His comedy timing and skill were a delight to watch. There is plenty of audience participation and several male members found themselves hauled on stage assisting Danny in a routine featuring a five foot unicycle. There is no doubting Danny, is the star and the person the audience have come to see and he does not fail to deliver. From sight gags to telling jokes, he has the ability to have the audience eating out the palm of his hand and begging for more. As the cast take their curtain call, we are clapping along to “Join the Circus” from the smash hit circus musical Barnum and what better way is there to end a show set in a circus ring. Circus Hilarious sets us up nicely for Clive and Danny returning in the pantomime Robin Hood later this year and I for one am already counting the days. - by John Dixon
