KEITH BUSH certified reviewer June 17, 2013
Well developed characters and character relationships (relationship), seemed relatively spontaneous (loved seeing rifs with audience members), and overall clear throughout the show that the actors knew exactly what they were doing - which was undoubtedly, being hilarious.... full review
ADAM LITTKE certified reviewer June 22, 2013
Me Rich, You Learn was a highly anticipated show for me and it did not disappoint. Zach Steel (TJ Hamer) shows complete control of the audience with every thrust and twist of his body. You cannot take your eyes off of him. The brilliant and subtle nuances of Adam Carpenter (Martin Almond) are razor sharp. He's the perfect Hall to Steel's Oates. Great show, great acting, great writing. If you see one show at Fringe this year, it better be this one.... full review

ERIN MOORE certified reviewer June 22, 2013
This show is 100% fun. It is physical comedy at it's best! Smartly written, perfectly executed this is a fast paced, full of laughs hour you don't want to miss! Me Rich You Learn is definitely a break in tradition for Four Clowns but it is a delightful break, they have certainly found magic with this one!... full review
JESSE HERWITZ certified reviewer June 23, 2013
Me Rich You Learn is a raunchy two-man show where the intended show is not the actual show and the actual show is something of a task to describe. As part of his community service, ‘Tax Criminal’ TR Hamer (Zach Steel) must present an ‘educational course’ to an audience, us, relaying the pitfalls of tax evasion. Present to ensure that Hamer completes his ‘scripted show’ is IRS Agent Martin Almond (Adam Carpenter). However, much of what comes about over the hour length performance has very little do with financial strategies and more to do with a series of crowd pleasing and often crowd engaging routines. It is only with about fifteen minutes remaining that the puerile Steel declares, “We’re going to do the show now!” Me Rich You Learn pres... full review
RYAN HARRISON certified reviewer June 22, 2013
This show is a total blast. Four Clowns has been putting up dependably awesome shows at the Fringe since it began, and their latest offering does not disappoint. In "Me Rich, You Learn," the absurdity is both rambunctious and precisely executed, like a great Monty Python sketch. What story is told in this show would be hard to summarize, but suffice it to say that you won't be able to make it through the hour without laughing from your gut at least a few times. What a joy to watch to such nuanced and excellent silliness.... full review
JOSH HILLINGER certified reviewer June 23, 2013
A ridiculous show - and I really happened to enjoy it. TR Hammer is the next Kenny Powers. Hilarious, absurd, totally out of left field, yet kept together by a freestanding tax camera. Brilliant physical comedy, impeccable timing, unflinchingly truthful characters. A really fun, totally bizarre show. I hope these guys go on to host all sorts of seminars.... full review
DAVID KLOC certified reviewer June 24, 2013
All I knew about this show going in - was I knew both of the actors were hilarious. But I had no idea what to expect beyond that. What ensued was as entertaining, hilarious, eccentric, profound, revolting and about 8 other words I'll probably learn later in life. To say I recommend this show is like saying I'd recommend seeing "Home Alone" - ITS IMPORTANT! At one point a marshmallow hit me in the eye. It's true. I was laughing - then it hit me - and I continued laughing. This show really does have it all and both actors are so deep into what they're doing that you can't look away / stop laughing / wipe that damn smile off your face. Enjoy. ... full review
ERIK WEINER certified reviewer June 24, 2013
This show is a full-frontal assault on your funny bone and you'll leave on cloud nine. It's like riding a rollercoaster - it's that much fun. Adam and Zach bring so much commitment and clowning to their roles, there's never a dull moment. Exiting the theater I felt like I had been pumped full of adrenaline. I highly recommend this show to all.... full review
