When I first saw this title I thought "This is either going to be amazing or a disaster. There is no in between." Well, it's amazing. Great performances (with a stand-out by Jeff Blumberg!) all around, and it's way more than a parody - GODOMINOES tackles the idea of fame and how we can quickly and accidentally lose touch with our humanity and personal relationships. Plus there are U2 jokes. Check it out, definitely....

This show more than lives up to its premise. It deftly skewers the Bono cult, celebrity culture and the existential woe of Godot and all human existence - in one hour! Smartly written, wonderfully acted, this is a great show!...

This was my first show of the fringe this year, and it was the perfect way to start the festival. Insofar as U2, I know nothing but a couple'a songs and the fact that Bono was hit while bicycling... but it mattered not. Loved the characters and the concept, and the evening. At times, Richard actually looks like Bono... he sounds great (he plays music, too), and I gotta say... I got a kick out of Bruno Oliver. Go/dot!...

What a great idea. Are you a fan of U2....you will love this! Are you a fan of WAITING FOR GODOT? Unless you are a Godot Fan Geek (does this even exist) then you will love it! Scared that you don't know U2 well enough....don't be! This is satire on Fame and The Edge and Bono are so funny, so tight, comic timing just spot on that you could have NO IDEA who these two men are and still enjoy about 90% of the jokes. Never seen GODOT? Shame on you. Then you will get a very clear idea of what this play is about with the characters of Domingo and Lucky. Domingo talks and talks and talks. Listening to his voice control, command of the stage and comic timing is delight and you could watch him the whole time only and be pleased. Lucky who has almost ...

Very clever take on the classic, and on the characters of Bono and The Edge. Witty, pointed humor of the best class....
