Long version:
WELCOME, watchers ofillusion, to this review.
Two comedians (in this case, Matthew Highton and Jessica Fostekew) act as his guides.
(Ooh) Nasty.
As with most live comedy, the more the merrier.
This isnt merely an exercise in nostalgia as a result.
Conviviality and delight lurk throughout like comforting shrugs.
At its best, it manages both.
Certainly the live show achieves this, with desperate cries of Sidestep left abounding.
Mainly though, there are knowing ad libs, meta-jokes and some glorious improv involving malfunctioning props.
There is no fourth wall, the audience are invited to contribute.
MakingKnightmarefor the stage looks, frankly, like a bit of a pain in the arse.
Theres a list of credits on theKnightmare Livewebsite which should be read.
The Kickstarter money is put to good use.
It is a miracle no-one was more seriously injured.
Some people would say it was a shame.
Have a sit down and a small cry.
Its exactly as good as you think its going to be.
Celebrate the hell out of it, for soon we shall all be dead.
