I had an absolute blast! From waiting in line for the house to open, I already felt so welcomed and immersed in the show. The actors brought so much care and honesty into their performances. Congrats to everyone involved!!... full review

In the sea of reviews for this show, I am not likely to break new ground. But to sum - it's a great time with a little bit of everything across the live performing tradition. If you have seen an act on stage or in an old movie there's a chance you will see it here. Odds are it will be funnier here, more engaged with the audience here, and more chocolaty here. Kudos to the creators and the very strong ensemble for bringing this fantastic show to the stage. ... full review

I could write about how funny this show is, or how amazingly committed the actors are, but you all know that. I could write about the great chemistry and the immaculate directing of this show, which could have been way to tongue in cheek to enjoy but instead feels great the whole time. I could tell you how impressed I was by the choreography and the physical comedy bits that are happening throughout the play, from when you walk into the theater the the end. Instead I'll just say this: There is a moment in this play that isn't just amazing, but it made me feel more emotionally connected to a piece of art then I have in a long time. This show rules beyond words.... full review

If anyone ever tries to tell you that LA theater sucks, just send them to see the next available Four Clowns production. The Four Clowns are a shining example of how it is absolutely possible to deliver great, live entertainment with top notch actors and performers on a shoestring budget. The Halfwits Last Hurrah is an absolute gem. Joyously hilarious from start to finish as well as genuinely touching and heartfelt, I had a smile on my face the entire night. You will laugh and you will cry and that's no joke. The entire cast was tremendous and full of infectious fun. I particularly enjoyed the comic stylings of Don Colliver and Elizabeth Godley as Butterbeans and Nimrod, the acrobatic double entendres from Dave Honigman and Jennifer Carroll ... full review

This show made me laugh and cry! Due to laughing way too hard. I enjoyed every minute of it. It was refreshing to watch these performers. In a lot of comedy shows, majority of the time it's a forced joke to make the audience laugh. But not these clowns!! They were all funny naturally!! If I could, I would watch it again and again. Great job to everyone involved!!... full review
BENJAMIN SCHWARTZ certified reviewer June 21, 2015
I expected nothing less than a fantastic show from this wonderfully talented clowning troupe and they delivered it. Adorned with slapstick, one liners, and physical comedy, this vaudeville-esque, melodramatic romp had me laughing and clapping the entire time. Drink before you go. This show benefits from a loose crowd and there's some fun audience interaction. Go early not only to catch a good seat, but to watch the pre-show and get settled in. The performers look like they are having as much fun doing the show as the audience has watching it. Everyone leaves with a smile. Definitely go see it if you can grab a ticket.... full review

Oh y goodness FOUR CLOWNS has done it again. This show is nutty and fun and funny and touching and filled with tremendous performances. You never know where they are going to go but you are always delighted when you arrive there. Lots of surprising turns I won't spoil for you. Go see it! A truly unique and exceptional theatrical experience.... full review

Gleeful anarchy! The stage is filled with silliness that frequently spills into the audience. It's a hoot!... full review
