The show follows the lives of Terrance and Julia, as they fall in love, get married, and start to face the harshness of the realities of settling down at an early age. As time goes on the monotony of modern life starts to take hold, with Terrance turning to pursuing his dream of becoming a semi-pro ukulele player, leaving Julia starting to question where his priorities really lie.

In describing the show Dan said, ‘It’s interesting I think Reverb is a story that everyone can relate to their own experiences, on the surface it’s quite surreal and daft, but it’s much more than that. I think Reverb tests what comedy can be, it’s not stand up, but it’s not quite story telling or theatre either, it sits somewhere in between.’

Someone as inventive as this should have a future in comedy.’- Steve Bennett, Chortle
