What I liked

Very funny writing and some fearless performances. Lots of fun little moments scattered through a bizarre satirical land not too removed from our own.

What I didn't like

The play is a series of one-liners so there are bound to be a few misses. The performances, though all totally appropriate for the show, are uneven (the hosts are the standouts).

My overall impression

This show is a lot of fun (in a darkly comic way). The length of the show (around 30 mins) is perfect, as this plays essentially like a protracted skit (for better and worse). It’s very ‘Fringey’; you don’t see it being a play that really lives outside of a Fringe festival, but it’s perfect for what it is. This play is a good example of a funny Fringe experience that you don’t feel bad recommending to friends.
