A MUST SEE SHOW from the Fringe this year! This performance is just as much inspiring as it is entertaining. You will find yourself laughing out loud at these characters one minute, and then feeling the strongest desire to join and help them the next. With only uttering one word this entire show, these three actors manage to speak to you and touch your heart in a way that a thousand words could never grasp. Do not miss your chance to see this wildly entertaining, touching, creative, and inspiring show! It will keep you thinking and smiling well after you've left your seat!... full review

8:03 is a thoroughly entertaining, suspensfull, poetic,funny,and poignant commentary on modern day society and our over reliance on technology. But because of the abstract nature of this performance and the fact that there is no dialogue there is plenty of room for interpretation. I enjoyed watching the evolution of these characters as they struggled to maintain control in the face of the absurd and ridiculous. I also appreciated their lighthearted approach to portraying the struggle of humanity!... full review

8:03 is pure theatre at it's absolute best. No language to complicate things, just the imaginations of you and 3 accomplished physical comedians who are wise and talented beyond their years. And yet there is no one in the audience who doesn't know what is going on. You laugh out loud, you feel all emotions and your face hurts from smiling and not blinking lest you miss something. These 3 men are each so distinct in their characters and so precise in their movements and their comedy that you don't know which one to watch. It is so clever, so original that you wonder why we need words at all. This is the essence of what the Fringe should be and very often is not. This is groundbreaking and yet traditional in its simplicity and it's beauty. It ... full review

This is the best show of the Fringe for me. I have to go back and see it again, because I was so mesmerized by this first showing.I don't feel capable of writing and adequate review except to say it is beyond description and it must be seen. It is the best use of physical theater(or clowning) I could ever hope for. Funny , haunting, surprising and filled with depth and wonder. Absolutely superb.... full review
GRAYSON MORRIS certified reviewer June 25, 2015
This is a spectacular show. Even from the first moment, I was struck with the unconventionality of their style: silent, comedic dance, very much in the tradition of clowning. It is totally engaging to watch these three characters emote and evoke our emotions as they struggle to survive and maintain order in a disorderly world. Even down to the lighting, sound, costumes, props--and certainly the concept--this show is spot on. Completely charming. Utterly satisfying. And something really unique in a sea of same-old. ... full review
