Daft, daffy and deftly done. The twins number was giddily, joyously wrong and beautifully performed. Very strong ensemble work with standout moments for every performer. Nimrod was delightful and at times heartbreaking. A must see.... full review

Four clowns performance was absolutely brilliant! It was funny and I fell in love with all of the characters. I went to the midnight performance, which was a little bit more scandalous, and it was wonderful! Well written show, fight choreography was great, and the overall performance was astounding. I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to go. Excellent job!!... full review

The show brought back some classic clowning tropes and techniques, generating consistent laughter from the packed house on closing night. It was also nice that, in the era of CGI, the Internet, and so much artifice, basic slapstick and physical gags still resonate and can engage a modern audience. The interaction with that audience during the show was fun, and the energy and full-on commitment from the performers made for an entertaining evening at the Fringe.... full review

Lots of fun, a showcase of different types of clowns. The midnight performance I saw was definitely not for kids. Some of the darker and more adult humor worked well, but a couple of jokes about incest and the holocaust did not.... full review

#ChanceItLA or #DrinkBeforeItLA - I realize that I do not stand in the majority with this opinion, but my initial reaction for this show was #SkipItLA. However, I do need to acknowledge that this wasn't my cup of tea, but that doesn't mean that other people won't enjoy it. That being said, here are the reasons that I was not a fan. The story is contrived and the clowning lacks polish and purpose. The timing is off on 95% of the fight choreography and many of the gags. Their story is about a mediocre performing troupe and they spend too much time establishing that they are mediocre and not enough time showing moments of brilliance to counteract that mediocrity. They also expect you to sympathize with the main character Butterbeans, but within... full review
