O No!

"By the end, Wood has got the entire audience making music and probably doubled the amount of happiness floating around Edinburgh." The Guardian ★★★★

“Fractious, hilarious and punctuated by undeniable beauty, a thing of mischief and magic" The Stage ★★★★★

"This isn't wacky for wacky's sake. It's oppositional and fierce and idealistic." What's On Stage

"Stepping back outside, the world seems like a different place: a better one." Scotsman ★★★★

"There no one at the Fringe like Jamie Wood - probably no one on the planet. Experiencing his surreal imagination is like being sucked down a rabbit hole of joy." Fest Mag ★★★★

"O No! is audacious in its joy, a sunburst of unironic optimism breaking through cynical grey skies. Yet somehow it smacks less of naivety than of determinedly hopeful, seriously silly resistance." Exeunt

"This is one of the strangest hours I have ever passed. However, it is also one of the funniest and most heart-wrenching."
Broadway Baby ★★★★

"Jamie Wood’s whole show is bizarre and completely mad, but I have never been part of an audience that felt so collaborative, so positive and well-meaning." A Younger Theatre ★★★★★★★★

I Am A Tree

"With infinite kindness and care, Wood draws the audience onstage, out of themselves, into the rag-tag stage world he has created." ★★★★ The Stage

 “Half shaman, half buffoon, Wood creates a charming world that’s quite unlike anything else you’ll see this Fringe.” ★★★★ The Telegraph

Beating McEnroe

"...brilliantly bonkers. A vital dose of joy" ★★★★ Fest Magazine

"Unpredictable,  often  hilarious,  and  at  points  unexpectedly life-affirming" ★★★★ Broadway Baby

"Beating McEnroe is as funny as the best comedy, super-theatrical & entirely unlike anything else" The Guardian

"Spending an hour in the company of his imagination is dizzying... always unpredictable, utterly hilarious and often giddily uplifting... one of the oddest, most original and entertaining hours you're likely to spend in a theatre." ★★★★  Exeunt Magazine

"...touchingly hilarious... startlingly bonkers" ★★★★ The Edinburgh Reporter
