My overall impression

If you’re sick and tired of watching Brendan Hunt and Lauren Van Kurin kick ass on stage, skip this show. It will only make you sicker and more tired.

But if you think these two are fantastically talented (or haven’t seen either of them before), go see them do a two person, quick-change comedy musical based on one of the better documentaries out there. It’s simply fantastic.

Written by Amber Ruffin (who got whisked away by a paying gig. Lame!)and Lauren Van Kurin, the script and songs are about as funny as can be. And watching Hunt and Van Kurin tear through it will be one the highlights of your Fringe this year. I promise.

DISCLAIMER: Both of these rock stars are in my show. But to be fair, I saw this show before I even knew Lauren so take my words as bible. I am the law!
