We couldn't possibly comment on our shows...
so we let this lot do it instead.
Educators Said... (Scroll down for our Audience reviews!)
“I just wanted to let you and the team know that I have never had such positive feedback from the children. Literally every child in Y2&3 who has seen me today, has hugged me, said thank you, and asked 'When are the dancing people coming back?' Once Christmas is out of the way perhaps we can see if we could do a similar approach with Y4?”
“Hi Carla, it was great, the children are still talking about it! You were both great as always so thank you again. I loved the way you went with the children's ideas/suggestions (no matter how crazy!) The parents were really positive about it and we included some photos in the newsletter”
"Loved how you adapted the performance to all the children's ideas. They loved it all" Five Lanes Primary School
"Fully engaged and motivated. The children are still talking about it!"
"Grabbed the children's attention straight away"
"The children got a chance to express themselves and have a good belly laugh"
"A fantastic way to bring creativity and fun back into storytelling"
"Great fun and all the children were engaged throughout! The team had clearly thought about how to make this subject child friendly and memorable and it certainly was"
Carla as "Florence Nightingale was engaging and informative. Children enjoyed her visit and learned lots of facts"
Matt as "Galileo. Children loved him. He stayed in character and clearly knew his subject matter"
"Haven't laughed so much in ages, brilliant, thank you" Ali, Trinity HomeEd Halifax
"I would just like to say what a fabulous morning the children had with you last week and this is echoed by all the staff. The children are beginning to write their own stories and you can see some of your ideas in their plans. Once again thank you" Ryecroft Academy
Audiences Said...
Mikey had a FANTASTIC time at the workshop (again) and is already asking when he can come back.
Just wanted to say a massive thank you, to you and your team, for yesterday's fabulous party. You are awesome! I've never seen the kids so engaged - it was a joy to watch. I only wish I could have been a part of it myself. Do you do adult parties? Thanks again so much - not sure how we'll top this next year.
The BEST kids show in Leeds! Utterly bonkers!
Grab a ticket for Anything Could Happen! The best storytelling show I've taken the kids to - interactive and hilarious (I've been crying laughing at previous shows!) X
I literally had tears in my eyes from laughing so much! Your team are so talented and downright hilarious!
So pleased I could join the kids this time! The online lockdown shows were great but the live show was even better, just hilarious!
Smiles and laughter from start to finish! Thank you all so much for such a fun time!
Excited to bring our lot back 😍😘👏 “anything could happen” are the best thing ever 😁
A family Sunday trip with our lovely friends from @paintingpotsknaresborough to see our favourite show @anything_could_happen_leeds! Once again it was laugh out loud, wet your pants funny for adults as well as kids. The team are coming to us on 29th March and we can't wait!
As always we loved every second!! My favourite bit definitely the evil eyebrow.... great ending to that story!!!
My son and I had a fantastic time! Thanks so much for brightening up our weekend 😊
Amazing inclusive stories, really good ! I'm sure there are lots of families with children with additional need who would love to have an inclusive story session 😀
Hi Carla, thank you so much for a wonderful party, it was so special, Anya thought it was her best birthday ever. I can't thank you enough for such a memorable and great bespoke party for Anya. It was amazing and I think it was the little things that made the party so special and that we shall cherish. The story of leaving (in this case going off to Mars ) was brilliant. Acting out part of her story just blew me (us) away (I promise to get her to look at plays; going to try and take her to a pantomime, and look out for some child friendly plays to read) and of course playing the song for her friends to do their dance routine to was just amazing! Just a few things amongst lots of things - the big smile on Anya's face throughout was lovely to see, it was a great birthday party and a great send off, so thank you! Please pass on a huge thank you to the actors - they (well you all) were amazing. Thank you so much.
I am just so grateful we booked you for what will be Anya's last birthday party in the UK. Thank you. Warmest regards Louise , Nathan and of course Anya
Today we had an Anything Could Happen party for our son’s 8th Birthday. What can I say... absolutely fantastic super fun and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. All communication with Carla on the run up to the party was great, from booking and arranging the finer detail. Matt and Carolyn were brilliant at bringing the kids ideas to life, proving anything really could happen!! A trumping Zombie fisherman... Infamous villains Boo & Lucy on a diamond heist and stealing Grandma’s chocolate... that was actually poo! Just to name a few of the tales. A massive thank you for the laughs and creativity today, from all the kids and the adults too!
Hi Carla, thanks again for yesterday at Temple Newsam, we had a great day out! Wes talked of the monkey who needed a banana and yoga frog for the rest of the day!
“We loved this crazy show. Will you come back please?” Temple Newsam Estate
Thank you so much! The kids loved their surprise party and now think I'm the coolest mum ever! Job done. Rukhsana
Just home from our AMAZING event with Anything Could Happen, if you weren't there you missed out big time! The kids were fantastic storytellers and as I looked around the room I saw so many grown ups crying with laughter! We had exploding sheep, Oreos taking over the world, grumpy monkeys, a sad roly-poly snail driving a NY taxi, Dumbledore with pig tattoos and the Easter Bunny teaching dental hygiene to the aliens on the moon 😂Thanks AC team, you made our working Sunday the most fun (and most bizarre) yet!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ event, hilarious show and yummy brunch, thank you to all the Smith's and AC Happen the kids were amazing 😂
Hilarious, unpredictable, fantastic show with Anything Could Happen. at Mrs Smith's Cafe today. Improv totally involving the kids, bringing their make believe to life; what a fantastic atmosphere...I was literally crying with laughter at parts...I want to leave my job and join in...Please? Ruth
Love his little mind jumped from Dwayne Johnson to a nice romantic nap (!!) It's amazing what you get out of them👏
I love this concept so much. Do you do anything that isn't on a Sunday? We're a church going family so Sunday is out! But I have FOMO! 😂
You guys are amazing - you're all super talented! 😊 We had a brilliant time! and we all loved it 😊 xxx
We loved it and are hooked!!!! Thank You x x x
The girls are begging to come today so see you soon!
Dear Carla, What a brilliant party, Thank you so much! You are all so talented. As I said, I heard so much praise about you lot at the party. Hope to see you all again in the future. Love Becky, Hayley, Anna and Leila x
You lot are incredible. Everyone had a brilliant time, it's not often adults enjoy a 6 yr olds party as much as the kids! I will never forget the clam ghost and the hippo riding, beautifully and hilariously directed by Carla. I think we were lucky to book you before you get too big! Thank you from us all and of course the party girls x
We booked the Anything Could Happen crew for a joint birthday party for our 6 year old daughter and her friend. They were absolutely brilliant, enjoyed equally by the kids and parents. Carla was very accommodating in coming to our house and planning in advance and Matthew and Natalie were superb in bringing the kids' weird and wonderful suggestions to life. Thanks so much to you all for making such a memorable party.
“Thanks ACH for the great show today. We enjoyed it very much! Ryan was shy initially but was very proud when he was encouraged to contribute to the show. He asked for the book at the end so he can write his own story”
”Finally managed to get to my first anything could Happen! Great fun especially enjoyed the cowboy pickles and the alien cooking the seal!”
”We all had a blast, the ACH team were brilliant with the kids (and the adults). The kids were asked to help with making up stories for the team to bring to life. And they certainly did, it was all larger than life and we all laughed from start to finish.
All for just £4 each! And we've already been told by the girls that we HAVE to go every month! Highly recommended by team smiley (the girls name for the smith's and dudley's! 😂)”
”We attended for the first time today not knowing what to expect. All of us from 2 to 35 had a fabulous time. Brilliantly run, brilliant fun, brilliant concept, just brilliant, we loved it!”
"Think of it as giving your child the chance for a front row seat to a brilliant comedy show that they can help create" Leeds Dad
“Finding Anything Could Happen has been amazing and has sparked Heidi’s creativity at home even more. However, with these kinds of activities, it is the people running it that make it so special. Without their creativity, passion and a little bit of silliness, the children would not benefit and enjoy the shows. I really hope that Heidi will enjoy the shows for a long time, as I know she will learn so much from them!”
"On the morning of the second show, she woke up with a huge smile, realising that it was Anything Could Happen Day!!"
“Thanks to @anything_could_happen_leeds for an absolutely fantastic show this afternoon. It's a completely unique show that truly taps in to the genius that is a child's mind and transforms their ideas into an hilarious sketch. Takes me back to my younger days watching whose line is it anyway! Can't recommend the show enough, if you are in Leeds and have children... Or can borrow one... See them @sevenartsleeds on the first Sunday of the month at 1pm. See you next month!!!”
