The three highly talented men behind Growing Nowhere are set for stardom if this debut performance is anything to go by.

An extremely well written look at school days and the weird kid you always see, but this time it’s centred round him.

There are many options open to the trio for storylines, jokes and characters yet they have avoided the obvious and created a giggle inducing, childhood remembering performance like no other.

This certainly is a rare find, and an extraordinary treat. Focusing on Timmy and his imaginary friend Simon we are taken through a rip roaring comic feast of quick throwaway lines and superb scripting. It’s the sort of masterpiece style you would expect from Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights…possibly even better.

 The performance was spot on, the Plastic Cowboys switched from character to character with such ease and realism, you forgot that it was the same three performers. Their individual styles changed from person to person, and they had highly tuned the characteristics to create a totally believable atmosphere. From the psychotic nurse to the downtrodden trouble ridden school boys, the performance is expertly crafted and never fails to hit the mark.

There are laughs a plenty, mixed with some moments of sadness and joy. These are guys to look out for….catch them now, before they become bigger than The League Of Gentlemen.
