Four Clowns presents The Halfwits' Last Hurrah

Oh man,four clowns really knocks it out of the park with Halfwits Last Hurrah. The preshow act immediately set a great mood and captured my attention immediately. The Lillian Theatre was an absolutely gorgeous venue and I think the perfect environment to let these performers work their magic. There were acrobats, stilts, puppets and a fake mustache. I mean, what else could you ask for? The line does get a bit long so be sure to get there early in order to ensure yourself of a great seat in the front row. This is an incredible original show with lots laughs and awes. If you get a chance, go check this show out you definitely won't regret it. ... full review

Hip, hip hurrah for the Halfwits Last Hurrah! I have been waiting quite a while to see great vaudeville show and The Halfwits Last Hurrah was worth the wait. Four Clowns has re-created an iconic variety show from past blended with a storyline that has a bit of a dark side. The performers were funny and first-rate. While they may be halfwits, but they're performances are wholehearted! Spend a delightfully fun hour with The Halfwits!... full review

Great show! Truly immerses the audience into the world of the play. I got to see the show during preview, and It's obvious many of the bits and jokes were completely improv'ed based on the relationship between the actors and audience. If you want a great laugh, and you're comfortable with the disappearance of the 4th wall, check this out! ... full review

I knew I was going to like this show already when I got handed a York peppermint patty while waiting in line to get in. And it kept getting better. The Halfwits' Last Hurrah is one of those shows that is so fun and zany that it makes you wish you were a part of it, and then before you know it, you actually are fully part of the action. They make you feel like this show was created for you and with you and that's the kind of theatre I love most. Don't miss this rad show. If you're looking for laughs (who isn't?), definitely check this out. ... full review

Hurrah to Four Clowns on an amazingly hilarious show! 'The Halfwit's Last Hurrah' was the second show produced by Four Clowns that I had the pleasure of watching, the first being Cal State Long Beach's production of 'Ubu The Shit', and I couldn't have been more entertained. Four Clowns really knows how to create an experience for audience members. The show begins from the moment you stand in line! You're greeted by the incredibly charming Meri Winkle "the liquor vendor" as you wait and enter the theater, then the fun continues! I recommend sitting in the front row if, like me, you're a fan of the possibility of interacting and even becoming a part of the show! The show is cleverly written and incorporates so much more than the expected ... full review

It is a well-known tenant that drama is easy, and comedy is hard. Nothing could be further from the truth. But what is so miraculous of comedy is the effortlessness of the performers that makes us laugh. Laughter is a particular trait, one that cannot be easily analyzed, but we call all agree that it is one our best, and in some ways, most noble aspects. The Halfwit’s Last Hurrah by Four Clowns is a mixture of satire, slapstick, sight gags, and acrobatics. All performed with the same kind of grace one would expect from a ballet, only this is exceedingly hysterical. It is truly comedic. And I dare to say homage to Ernie Kovacs, as the production has a slight edge and irreverence, yet still contains tight structure. Not a moment is wasted; t... full review

This show was truly remarkable. I love laughing, genuinely, from my soul. This show had me laughing whole heartedly from the moment I sat down. The clowns knew what they were doing, and were fully aware of the audience, consistently, from start to finish. Most important, i felt that my presence was necessary, I felt involved. I don't ever get to see shows like this, and it was a true pleasure. Five out of five stars, two thumbs up, A+! Thank you four clowns for an evening of fun. I can't wait to see your future shows and honestly I dream of being a part of honest comedy such as your work, one day. If you are wondering about which show to see, don't be an idiot, see The Halfwit's Last Hurrah! It'll be the best decision you've made in a long... full review

Four Clowns has done it again! Always amazing and always hilarious, I was sitting on the edge of my seat the entire show. The clowns broke the 4th, 5th, 6th wall on this one. I felt so involved in the show, it was like I was apart of it. In fact, I was. The ever so talented, Don Colliver, who played the strikingly funny Butterbeans Arbuckle, called me out in the beginning of the show and told the audience to "Blame Rebecca, if anything goes wrong tonight." It was an on going joke that never got old, because when something seemed to go wrong, he blamed me and there was a huge roar in the audience. I didn't want the experience to end. A big congratulations to the amazing director, David Anis and artistic director, Jeremy Aluma, on yet another ... full review

From the moment you arrive at the Lillian Theatre, you can tell that you're in for a night of goofy, fun-loving entertainment. The Halfwits' Last Hurrah gathers together the kookiest people in Hollywood to put on a show that is fast-paced, well-acted and sung, and strangely captivating, in the best way. The comedy is solid, the double-entendres are satisfying, and the characters seem like they've jumped out of a Saturday morning cartoon to give the Fringe Festival something to laugh about (don't worry, we're laughing *with* you, not *at* you). Get there early to get good seats; those in the front row have a possible chance at giving a cast member a kiss on the cheek before the show begins (I was so lucky)! Butterbeans Arbuckle, you really... full review

Fun, creative show with a great cast! Lots of laughs... I recommend it!... full review
