What I liked

Jenelle Riley crafts a witty comedy that challenges sexism and yet still celebrates Austin’s love of love. All the players commit to their extreme roles and land the comedic timing necessary to pull off the farce. Lauren Van Kurin is a stand out, particularly in her physical comedy and ability to make the absurd seem completely realistic. I especially liked the puns. I am a sucker for puns.

What I didn't like

More puns! (can you ever have enough?)

My overall impression

Witty, funny, and pun-tastic!
