These two receptionists are fast-talking smooth moving professionals in the hospitality industry. They speak multiple languages, none of which you can understand, and have an almost pathological fear of their customers. Impressively silly and exceptionally charismatic, Inga and Kristiina have a unique and hilarious chemistry, which makes the whole experience delightfully bonkers.The aesthetically pleasing performance is strongly physical, unconventional and hilarious, suitable for all age groups.
Clownery, dance, mime, physical theatre and visuality build up the production where five star customer service is performed around the table and beyond.

Pressecitater og anmeldelser
Here are some excerpts from audience comments and excerpts from reviews from those performances:
David Howard
Receptionists is a wonderful show, go and see – twice if you can! It should be compulsory for all front desk staff. So funny and brilliantly executed. The choreography of the moves is excellent- brings to mind the best of Laurel and Hardy or Morecome and Wise visual comedy. The two Finnish ladies were so skilled in their facial expressions, gestures and body language. Such a simple idea, but complex in its execution and amazing control. I loved it! ( you might have guessed).
Tom Sainsbury
Brilliant show. Such a simple concept executed perfectly. This is clowning at its best, skilfully constructed with small scenes themed around two receptionists and their quest to run a perfect five star front desk. Not to be missed
The Inds
This show was excellent, one of our favourites so far. Every member of our family enjoyed it from the 9 year old to the 70 year olds! Brilliant physical comedy that has you laughing from the start to the finnish!
Fringe Bingers
Superbly executed physical theatre by two highly skilled comedic talents.
UK Theatre Web
There is much laughter from an engaged and entertained audience – including me.
North West End UK
The physical skill of the performers is evident and the ambition to do an entire comedy show in which words are nothing more than incidental is laudable, but it is somewhat held back by the lack of through-line and characterisation… However, the show contains many wonderful moments courtesy of its expressive, harmonising, and passionate creators, and a format we could do with more of at the Fringe.
