This sketch comedy takes the fluid definition of theater expands it even more than can physically be expanded and explodes onto the stage. These two men are geniuses of the craft. Aristotle, would be proud for the song, Brecht, would be proud of the action, Shakespeare, would be proud of their word play. These men dance, paint their faces, make the audience think and add to the living theater. The sketches aren't too long and if they started to get old, there was always some surprise waiting for the audience. The chemistry of Andrew Connor and Mike Mathieu was so tight that the tube top melds to this fat lady! And when she sang I was thoroughly satisfied. Of all the fringe shows, this was by far the best. Also if I was a big time producer, I wouldn't hesitate to put out for these guys. They even utilize the audience, but these gentlemen are so tactful and witty, it's not one of those "oh shit, here comes these actors to play with us". They are natural in acting, and amazing at character portrayal. The show is fast paced and even has a few sad moments. I felt a lump in my throat when the TV had to be returned. If you are a fan of drawing room plays you might get turned off by this. I give it a 5.5 out of 5.
