Steve Oliver, Nottingham Post, 8th March 2015Review - I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue: live on stage
With a relentless barrage of hilarity for over two hours, the Sunderland audience was left helpless with laughter and although the vast majority seemed to be fans of the radio show, this is an excellent introduction to people unfamiliar with the joys of Clue.
