"Thank you for all your hard work in relation to the anti-knife project in Camden Borough. It has been a very enjoyable and rewarding experience working with The Comedy School. The It's No Joke! Programme was very well received by schools throughput the Borough. What made it particularly welcome was the way it tackled such a topical and important issue in such a lively manner. The project made the Year 9 pupils (13/14 year olds) aware of several very important points of law as well as addressing the potential outcomes of carrying a knife. These items were all carefully worked into the play, making the learning seamless. This work dovetailed conveniently into the 'Personal Social and Health Education' part of the school curriculum and was an important component of 'Citizenship'."

"Please could you thank those who performed It's No Joke! Our pupils not only enjoyed the experience but really started to consider this important issue. It has led to some excellent discussions within their PHSE lessons. Unfortunately, with recent events in the news connected to this topic your play was an invaluable resource to prompt discussion and clarify the legal status of carrying such weapons. In a recent review of the PHSE programme by our pupils all identified this as the most enjoyable and informative part of the course. Due to the success and reaction of our pupils to your work we would love to work with you again."

"I am writing to congratulate you and the members of the play that was performed today at our school. We are a special school as you know and to keep our boys entertained and still for the length of the play was a feat in itself. The boys thoroughly enjoyed the performance and words like "Wicked" "Cool" and "Dark" were expressed by them. They also wanted to know when you are coming back."
