“Long Head is very much its own, supremely confident, equally hilarious and befuddling thing… absurdist extremity in two-minute instalments, the comedy flying at breakneck speed…a testament to the surreally dark comic mind of Holten”
— The Sydney Morning Herald
“One of the most incredible comedy creators in Australia right now.” – Dan Ilic
“It’s fantastic… driven by big chaos energy. It's more anarchic, more absurdist, more "Python"… the episodes start flying off the rails from the jump, and you have to be willing to follow. But I am, and it's very funny. And it builds to a truly chaotic ending.” — Pop Culture Happy Hour, NPR
“Millie Holten is a mad genius hellbent on inflicting laughter and terror in equal measure. There is no choice but to succumb.” — Sammy J
“My favourite Australian comic of 2023” — Andrew Levins, Manga Awards

“★★★★★ … it kicks serious comedy arse… Confident, surprising, and wonderfully goofy.” — Funny Tonne
“Hilarious, easy-to-binge series chock full of witty pop culture references… a comedic, chaotic twist on the classic true crime genre.” — The Best Podcasts of 2021 by Podcast Playlist, CBC Radio One
“★★★★… a beautiful, vomit-filled web made of absurdist skits… Big Big Big have mastered the art of the fringe.” — Theatre Thoughts
“★★★★… Wonderfully nonsensical.” — Time Out Magazine
“Absurdist, far-fetched and cooked….perfectly executed comedy that manages to cram a whole bunch of soul, emotion, and laughs in a short period of time.” — The Magic Roast
