| Reviews |
“Chol performed an extract of ‘Not for All the Tea in China’ at our recent Village Fete at Bradford's Theatre in the Mill. It was marvelously fun and worked very well both in format and essence within the structure of Village Fete. Within a packed programme of 12 hours of performance, Chol's show was most definitely a highlight, adding much to the event and providing audiences outside with a performance that was enormously entertaining, inventive and a great deal of fun.”
