What I liked

The audience interaction!! If you sit in the front row, you will end up being a part of this show, (whether you like it or not). I didn’t know this when I selected my seat in the front, but I’m very glad it worked out that way. I got to play slap-hands with a dinosaur!! This show kinda works by Sea World “splash zone” rules (first three rows will get wet). Front row here is the audience participation “splash zone”. Keep this in mind when selecting your seat. If you’d rather just be an observer, sit towards the back. Otherwise, sit in front, and enjoy the chaos. Just understand that no matter where you sit, it’s a great show!!

What I didn't like

The run time. (This a very minor nit-pick in what was otherwise a great show). In the fringe guide this was advertised as being a 60 minute show, but George ended it at 5:50. This show was so amazing that I didn’t want it to be over yet. “You owe me ten more minutes!!”

My overall impression

This show was excellent!! George is an incredibly gifted physical performer, and his comedy is spot-on!! The first twenty minutes of this show, where he acts out the evolution of life on Earth (complete with costume changes) is worth the price of admission alone, and it just gets better from there. He has the ability to make the audience double over in laughter with nothing more than his eyeball visible. This show also has more than a few curve balls, and WTF moments (the good kind), so strap in and enjoy the ride!! Very highly recommended!!!
