I think the word is FANTASTIC! Absolutely brilliant cast with a laugh a minute. A sex lesson is a show. Watched it with my mam but the laughter and serious contrast made it enjoyable to watch it together. So good that im hoping to perform this with a few others to raise money for breast cancer. WELL DONE GIRLS!

Jane Robson
Fantastic fantastic fantastic one of the best shows I have seen made my laugh all the way home a really great girls night out unmissable.

Jeni Bluck and Jenny Kitchen
A fantastic night out ,we cried tears of laughter and sorrow at them & with them, an emotional true to life production with a brilliant cast that sat us both on an emotional see-saw. we feel that as a film it would be a box office smash to top all others& can't wait to see it again.


Yolanta Forrester
Briliant show laughed for most of it and tried not to cry for some of it! Lucy Rusedski was a complete revelation! Just want to know if you can get hold of the soundtrack? Brilliant songs perfectly suited to the play!

Michelle Johnson
I thought the show was fantastic,hoping to get tickets to see it again tonight.All the cast were great and lisa riley was as funny as ever.Well done girls,loved it loved it loved it x


Elaine Ward
Absolutely Fabulous!! Such a funny take on real women - and what a cast. Fantastic ability to move the audience from raucous laughter to absolute silence within a few minutes - WOW ! Be proud , girls - we loved you! A nod to the writer too - Well Done Dave

Andrew Startup
I really enjoyed seeing The Naked Truth in Worthing, even though I am a man. It was funny, sad and performed by a brilliant cast who should be congratulated. This is a play that should definately be on in the West End.


Lee Thomson
I wasn't sure I'd enjoy this show but it was fantastic - funny, crude & sad - I never stopped laughing - won't be able to look at "clematis" in quite the same way any more, or listen to "It's Raining Men"!! All the cast were great, especially Lisa!!

Rachel Summer
This show was AMAZING i have been to london loads and watched many shows of different genres but the NAKED TRUTH beat them all. from the moment the curtains went up the audience were captivated and involved. Also i highly doubt there was one person on either night that did not leave tempted to join a pole dancing class. I WOULD LOVE a recording of the show especiallly the girlies "It's raining men" dance routine.


Al G
Wasn't sure what I was going to see, but went along with my friends anyway. Absolutely fantastic - at the end I wanted to see it again At the interval I was asked me were the tears because I was crying or laughing and the answer was both! So moving and so funny. Well done girls!!!

Linda Pinfold
Fantastic show, Lisa Riley was amazing with a great cast. well done girls i would definately watch the show again.thanks for the great saturday night entertainment.


Liz Whitehead
What a show! Fantastic Cast -10 out of 10. made me laugh so much I started crying. Definitely a must see show. I went along knowing nothing about the show. And was truly enthralled with the whole thing. Cannot wait until it comes back to Scotland.

Mandy Richmond
Absolutely brilliant. It had me laughing and crying in turn. Each cast member gave their all, and I would love to see the production again.

Karen Robertson
Fantastic, very emotional makes you well up one minute then crack up laughing the next, all were fantastic - would love to know where lisa gets her energy. good show girls i loved every minute of it.


Alison Jackson
What a bloody great nite out with my girls friends!!! I laughed and laughed and I also cried! Brilliant best production I've seen in a long time well worth the money and brilliantly written. I could relate to all of the cast each one had they own personal journey and story to tell. Can't believe how so to real life it is based on! Would love to see again and if by chance it has been recorded would love to get a copy on DVD as I was trying to describe it to many of my other friends and family. Shame it wasn't on for more than two nites. Come back soon Godd Luck to all the girls on tour and bloddy well done on your pole dancing skills.

Patricia McBirnie

Henna Virtanen
I was in Limerick visiting my friend and she suggested that we go and see that play! Luckily we did!!! The whole show was awesome! All the actresses made incredible performances! Special thanks to Lisa Riley! I'm doing some amateur teather myself and I would love to do The Naked Truth here in Finland!!!


Linda Foreman
Absolutely fantastic. A must for all women. Funny, riotous, moving, captivating. I felt I was on stage with the cast having a good girlie chat at times, the cast were so talented that they pulled you in. There is nothing negative to be said about this play, apart from fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride (so to speak)!! Thanks for the best night out for a long time, my sides still hurt this morning and I will definitely be going to see it again.

Linda Robinson
Saw this show with my 85 yr old mother in law! We laughed and cried it was fantastic. Have recommended it to all my friends. This show was the icing on the cake at the end of our holiday. Great comic timing and fantastic pole dancing. I want to learn now!!!

The best show i have seen in years. The girls were absolutely fantastic, all of them. i was crying with laughter one moment and then crying with sadness. Wonderful performance, these girls are so talented, as is the writer.

Brilliant - my cheeks ached afterwards from all the laughing! Perhaps not for the prim and proper but I loved it! When is it coming back to Llandudno? I want to see it again! Any chance of the show coming to Manchester/Liverpool/Mold?

Absolutely amazing had everyone in stitches the whole way through! Aimed at the female audience and Lucy Rudenski is a phenomenal pole dancer Lisa Riley the comedian of the show recommended to everyone who wants a ladies night out. Top Banana :D

A superb script + an amazing cast = one of the best nights I've ever had at the theatre. The perfect combination of humourous and poignant moments gave the show such realism. Thank you for producing such an entertaining show.

What a brilliant show!! Made me laugh from start to finish......there were some tears too. The breast cancer storyline was dealt with wonderfully and the comedy moments were priceless. What a night we had in North Wales on April 4th 2008! Thank you to Lisa Riley and all The Naked Truth cast and crew!

Karen Valkoczi

Myself and 8 of my Pole Dance pupils loved this show. It was much better than I had anticipated. Would recommend it most highly.. can't wait to see it again.

Julie Osman
Absolutely brilliant. Fantastic show. All cast members were so good, they all had you laughing and crying, again FANTASTIC well done.

Kate Sharkie
My freind and I were in the front row at Motherwell. It is a Fabulous show, funny and touching with a superb cast. Can't thank you all enough for such a wonderful night out. Any chance of the play being made into a film?

Jane Gallimore
Went knowing nothing about show and really enjoyed it. Well done to all the cast.

Rose Small
Just in from derry after watching the show...hands still sore from clapping. Wanted to get up and sing with girls at end. Brilliant. Lovely Lisa; fabulous!

Chris & Mick Shute
We saw this at University Concert Hall, Limerick on 2nd October 2007. It was absolutely brilliant! Would definitely recommend it to anyone. The whole cast were superb. Extremely funny and poignantly sad. Loved it from beginning to end.

Maxine Perks
Wowee, fab show, want to go again!!!!!!!!! Never laughed so much in ages, can't wait for it to come around again - I'll be taking my husband next time!!!!!!!

Michaela Holland
The best play I have ever seen! Laughed from beginning to end with a few tears in between. I just hope it comes back to Staffordshire/Midlands so all my friends (and me!) can go and see it. There was an elderly gentleman sat next to me and he didn't crack his face once all the way through it but did appear to enjoy the pole dancing at the end though!!! It definitely has the potential to be made into a film so come on someone out there - get making!!!

Susan Reid
Absolutely fabulous! I laughed loads and cried as well. A really authentic portrayal of women - our humour, our hang ups, our friendships. Great cast.

Sue Gordon
Fantastic! Heard Lisa Riley describe it on 'Loose Women' - and now glad we booked it! Would recommend to everyone - well done to all the cast.

Martin Seymour
Great night out, funny, funny, funny, brilliant!

Jane Seals
What a great night! I haven't laughed so much in years. Excellently cast and superbly perfprmed. It was funny with serious undertones. Excellently scripted and great choices for music. I would recommend anyone to see this production. Congratulations to all invloved for excellent performances!

Jayne Gannon
Gosh it was excellent, Lisa Riley made me cry with laughter. I am also a big woman and she was a good role model as big women can be sexy and fun and it is true men do like big ladies. Also Sarah White and Alison Young who played Faith were good too. Enjoy your tour ladies and thanks for a wonderful night.

Judith McManus
Watched this last night at St. Helen's Theatre Royal and it was so funny. Defo worth a girlie night out.

Jackie Kennon
The funniest thing I have watched! Still laughing now! Going again to Southport.

Sally Featon
Absolutely fantastic - both tears and laughter!!! Every person played their character to perfection! Well done!!

Joanne Hall
Absolutely fantastic. The acting was first class. Totally brilliant!

Mandy Hood
I thought this play was excellent!

Christine Morgan
Made me laugh - made me cry - an absolute must for every woman - great girl’s night out. Keep up the funny dancing Lisa - that made my stomach hurt from laughing. My mate was so smitten by the play - she was almost pole dancing up the lamp post on our way back to the car..!! As a breast cancer survivor it hit an emotional spot which I thought was played extremely well and full credit to all the cast. Well done.

Mo Morris
Show sounded special and it was much more than that - serious issues were addressed within some of the best one liners I've heard for a while. Each character was beautifully played though Lisa Reilly stole it - the pole dancing finale was truly amazing, very professional! Loved it.

Janet Lee
I have to admit I went to this show with some misgivings. How wrong can you be? The show, about a group of women who come together to learn pole dancing, was absolutely superb. The five main characters, all soap stars in their own right, were faultless. The timing was impeccable, the characters believable and the script by Dave Simpson was sharp, funny and wonderfully crude. It really captured the essence of a group of women getting together - and what they really think and say about men. The show, a kind of female full Monty, had the audience laughing from start to finish. Lisa Riley as voluptuous Bev and Alison Young as Dopey Faith were hilarious.But there were also several serious undertones, pulled off with panache. Sarah White, Jo Farrell, Paula Frances and Pauline Fleming all gave slick performances. There was not a single weak character in the whole production. I can’t imagine anyone leaving the theatre without a smile on their face. Brilliant.

Midge Blake
The rich dimensions of women's lives vie for attention in Stephen Leatherland's production of xxx's The Naked Truth. Fat or fantastic? Self-confident or self-loathing? Doormat or dynamic? These are just some of the real life themes that form a backdrop to the bonding of a new circle of female friends that forms from their experiences at pole dancing class!

Lisa Riley plays hilarious big Bev, brash and bold on the outside - but whose apparent self-confidence and satisfaction with a series of one night stands is revealed to be little more than a facade for a sensitive woman who finally finds true love in the arms of a fellow pole dancer's husband!

Bubbly, vivacious Rita (played by Sarah White) Is always game for a laugh, or so it seems ... But again underneath the personality she presents to the world we discover a frightened little girl who is terrified of her abusive husband. Faith is mistress of the faux pas - her naivety leading to some hilarious misunderstandings and a lightening of the revelation that one of their class has terminal breast cancer.

What started as pole dancing for fun, for financial freedom, for re-fuelling fallow fantasies becomes pole dancing for life! A show to raise funds for breast cancer research - don't miss this hilarious, heart-wrenching chance to do your bit too!

Vikki Dunne
Fantastic, poignant, hilarious and sad at the same time. An excellent show, the ladies worked extremely well together and it was a very polished show. My friend and I were laughing all the way home. Thank you so much for livening up a Thursday evening!

Tony & Suzie Baws
I am writing to thank all involved for a fantastic evening at the Palace last Thursday. The entire cast, the writing and the production were superb and we laughed a lot and (I being a mere man) cried a bit too. What great entertainment. If all productions are anywhere up to this standard then the Palace's future should be assured and we shall try to come as often as we can to support it.

Diane Congreve
Brilliant, it made us laugh and cry, a true roller coaster of emotions. Lisa Riley was amazing. She did a fantastic portrayal of a very mixed up young woman.

Jean Barnes
Loved it! Loved it! Thought Pauline Fleming was excellent in an all around super cast! Would recommend it to anyone. Thanks girls!
