REVIEWS
★★★★ “The pair bounce off each other seamlessly … this show is done so well that it’s hard to tell it’s improv… trust me, you do not want to miss this” - The Herald Sun
"The performers may be silent, but the laughs are loud! Sturgeon has a knack for bringing heart to a scene and often directs stories to unexpected places. Strano is a fearless and talented physical comic, unfailingly bringing the silly. By taking speech out of the equation, the Quiet Achievers present comedy that is near-universal, drawing on expressions of emotion that we are all familiar with” - Squirrel Comedy
“Strano and Sturgeon are a great pair to watch. Strano’s comic to Sturgeon’s straight is highly complimentary and the two have a great connection. Constantly aware of each other and what they are doing; they work hard (but seemingly easily) at giving each other a great time and making the other look good … if you’re looking for something a little different, a little riskier but very rewarding, then the Quiet Achievers is the show for you” - TheatrePress
"The Quiet Achievers captured our minds and hearts from young to old" - Maria Burgess, Teacher, Furlong Park School for Deaf Children
