My overall impression
Clowns are the best. What grander purpose can one strive for than making others laugh? Okay, okay finding a cure for “cancer- Alzheimer’s-the common cold-world hunger-Ann Coulter” would be spiffy, but we’re talking clowns here! Not clowns with multiple PHDs for finding a remedy for cancer, not clowns with a sixteen ton weight handy to drop on Ann Coulter, just your good ol’, God bless ‘em variety of clowns who’ll make you chortle till milk shoots out your proboscis.
The Four Clowns Company, a perennial favorite of the Fringe audiences, are back with “Me Rich-You Learn”, a wonderfully wacky romp guaranteed to get the dairy product blasting outa beaks for miles around.
The narrative frame of the show has the simplicity of Lego blocks.
A former millionaire\tax evader (Zack Steel) is fulfilling his mandated community service via a Mea Culpa infomercial under the strict supervision of a straight lace, tight ass IRS agent (Adam Carpenter).
Needless to say things go to hell in a turbo charged hand basket.
Writers Steel and Carpenter, under the dexterous direction of Turner Munch, serve up solid gold silliness providing guffaws and chortles a-go-go.
For my money you couldn’t have more fun in a theatre – that is without involving a sixteen ton weight and Ann Coulter.
