“Since watching Repertoire on Netflix, I’ve desperately longed for more on Pat Springleaf and I was not disappointed by this. Loved it. Couldn’t stop listening. James Acaster comedy is high class 👌”

“A bit pantomime-esque and silly, but did make me laugh & is oddly charming. Couldn’t quite place the tone, but it reminded me of things we did at college…”

“This is a cute premise but it’s not as good as Acaster’s original standup but as Springleaf. The casting seems like he called in favors from friends, but some of the voice acting seems stilted. Other regulars are a little mush-mouthed and wouldn’t have made it past professional casting. The...”Read full review »

“Listens to this while delayed at an airport, made me laugh out loud. Hilarious commentary on the ridiculousness of life….. or maybe it was just me.
Acaster = Hilarious”

“This is all levels of absolutely unhinged and, fortunately, that’s *exactly* how I love my comedy. Chaotic, multi-level, unhinged madness. JA forever. Also, v nice for my skills to get a mention in Ep 4, 23:04. Thanks guys.”

“Interesting premise. Not funny. Bad improv(?) by the guests.
Kemah Bob has a voice for silent podcasts. You could insert nails on a chalkboard for her parts, and it would be less grating, and funnier. An important feature for an audio format.”

“While I didn’t contribute to the kickstarter (which I’m pretty glad of now), I was looking forward to this. Unfortunately, it’s really not good. It feels like a bunch of comedians in a room entertaining themselves with in-jokes you have no context for rather than making something that is funny...”Read full review »

“Why is everything James Acaster works on so brilliant? Why must he be so charming and funny? You have officially ruined all other men for me, Acaster. I will one day die old and alone, probably with the name “Springleaf” carved into my childhood sled.”

“Look forward to each instalment of the Springleaf story, so glad his universe got to extend outside Repertoire. A scripted audio drama, so maybe not everyone’s cup of podcast tea. Personally as the episodes have gone on it has, so far, felt less and less like a script read and more of a cohesive...”Read full review »

“It’s genuinely smart, with layered jokes, references, and callbacks. It’s also well crafted and original. But what makes it a great listen is that it’s just silly and fun. You can tell the people involved are enjoying themselves and it’s nice to just have a laugh with them.”
