    Medlin does a fine job of building the comedy and thematic approach of gender roles. With a well-deserved twist, Medlin makes FIX IT QUIK AUTOSHOP something for audiences to laugh at and ponder at the same time. This comedy is a well-oiled machine!

    "Fix it Quik Autoshop" is the sort of play that once you think you have it figured out, it sends you for a ride in another direction! Without giving too much away, the scenario appears at first just a simple, if not hilarious, twist on gender roles, complete with making incels do humiliating dances. Underneath though, is a story that tells us more by not being answered than if it were answered. By the end I wasn't unsatisfied, but I have a lot of questions. Great job. Would be a brilliant play to stage and see live.

    Well...I didn't expect it to end that way! John has created a scenario that is sadly still witnessed every day, where a man doesn't think a woman has the skills to know what he's talking about. Not only does she 'fix' the issue with his car but she does it with wonderful humour. There will be moments in this piece that will make you laugh and an ending that will make you go "what just happened?" Accompanying all that, its a fascinating piece exploring gender politics with humour, wonderfully done.
