Quotes
  • "Aaron Rice was another crowd favourite, his manic and angry humour winning him lots of laughs." - newburytoday.co.uk
  • (Of Hurren and Rice's Free Lunchbox, Edinburgh Fringe 2006) "I wish my mother had given me a lunchbox to take to school as full of as many little gags and laughs as these two have packed into their one... a humorous, energy driven two-man show and is certainly a nice way to spend your lunchtime." - Three Weeks
