What I liked

There is some bizarre, complex stuff discussed in the middle of all the goofiness. Somehow, all of this is made relatable and – for the most part – understandable. Physically demonstrating the trap of a paradox or explaining how time travel is actually a possibility, somehow this all gets wrapped into a funny, engaging show that’s big on silliness and laughs. Nicely done.

What I didn't like

The show was complete fun from start to finish.

My overall impression

In a delightfully wacky hour of physical comedy, mentalism, hypnotism and slapstick these two gentleman manage to throw a little bit of everything vaudevillian into the mix.

But, wait… there’s more. They touch on Quantum Entanglement Theory and what exactly Shrodinger’s Cat means to us as we go through our daily, average lives. (Oh, I had to look up a few things after the show, for sure. I left his show wanting to know more about the numerous things being thrown around during all the comic craziness.) It’s a dizzying hour of fun!
