ReceptionSheffield publication Exposed Magazine reviewed The Antics positively, saying "Antics always have something to say, no matter how surreal, absurd or inappropriate it might end up sounding, and that’s the fun. The fact that truly anything could happen next is enough to keep you engaged and ensures you’re never bored".[6] Audiences who attended their Edinburgh shows in 2010 rated them 4.7 out of 5, via the website Love Fringe[7] stating that they were "hilarious, quick on their feet and the show was fast-paced". The 2011 Edinburgh show also received high ratings, including 3* on ThreeWeeks "Much better than the title suggested", 5* on LoveFringe[8] and 3.0 on Broadway Baby.[9] The 2013 Edinburgh was met with mixed reviews, including a 3* rating from Broadway Baby.[10] References1. ^Lantern Theatre Listing 2. ^Edinburgh Festival Fringe{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 3. ^ThreeWeeks Review 4. ^Esquire magazine article {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111014042014/http://www.esquire.co.uk/2011/08/how-not-to-name-your-fringe-act/ |date=2011-10-14 }} 5. ^Edinburgh Festival Guide 6. ^Exposed Magazine Review 7. ^Love Fringe Reviews 8. ^LoveFringe Reviews 9. ^Broadway Baby Review 10. ^Broadway Baby Review 2013 External links
