"I loved Cart Noodle show. A fun interactive experience that deforms into disillusionment and dystopia; it packs a poignant punch. The viewer becomes the subject of a gamified system that is designed to disenfranchise them. The political implications of the work are clear but sophisticated. One is left feeling both entertained and with a deep sadness about what has been lost.  The exciting visual world ShumGhostJohn are able to conjure in their white walled flat is an impressive testament to their endless creativity."

- Kim Pearce, British Theatre Director

‘(ShumGhostJohn) are among a number of Hong Kong-born artists who have found success in the British arts scene in recent years... As a group that emphasises the physical and tangible in their work, and frequently invokes Hong Kong’s identity as a central theme, gaining their own sense of this new “texture” was critical.'

"Since most audiences will involve themselves with participation enthusiastically, it was interesting to note how disillusionment quickly set in."

- Nick Swyft, Mark Aspen Reviews

"Cart Noodle Show by ShumGhostJohn is a witty, fun and exciting game show for trying times like this. In the midst of the humour and fun of the game, what they really care about is embedded within the show and their artistic endeavours. It all reveals itself as the show went on, leaving you thinking about how you feel, what you just participated in and what are some of the effects in the wider contexts."- Dance Artist Jane Chan, Lecturer at LCDS, The Place
