"He could do stand-up at the Olympics for Australia - I'm sure he'd get a Gold...This is one that could genuinely go anywhere - New York, London, the Edinburgh Festival - and I am sure he would have a worldwide hit. A great show, a great achievement... (Lucas Stibbard) is a great talent" 612 ABC Brisbane

"Magical... one man, two hands, an 85-minute love story that makes the term "post-modern" seem positively sublime... a very funny play, but deeply moving and sentimental, too. Its shorter running time will leave you aching for more" crikey.com

"comic genius… boy girl wall offers an inspired and whimsical theatrical escape and a blissful reminder of the power of imagination" Time Off
"He leaps and whirls in a non-stop, dazzling performance in the best Aussie tradition of yarn spinning… it's a 70 minute delight which flies by at full tilt and as nimbly as the story teller himself. Stibbard's is a wonderfully original and intelligent voice, and this is a quite splendid night in the theatre" actorsgreenroom.net
"For the funnest night ever - you need to see boy girl wall… you're guaranteed laughter, you'll be astounded by Lucas's performance and your brain will be wired differently after following the show's frantic chain of thought. boy girl wall is highly recommended…you'd better book quickly because you really don't want to miss it" ourbrisbane.com
"The two have created a love prequel, a rom-com in which there is a lot of com but no clichéd rom… It's as much an intelligent treatise on the science behind fate and destiny as it is a deliciously dirty stand-up routine" australianstage.com.au
"I felt like my favourite flash animations and local indie films had joined forces to produce a stage play… the ride has you grinning, arms in the air, already dying to go again" Rave
"I've never seen such non-stop enthusiasm, nor heard a more appreciative round of applause at the end. It was a rock concert ovation such as actors rarely receive" alittlegossip.com.au
