What I liked

Hilarious from the beginning and never stops, the writing is drawn from a wealth of experience. Matt and Jim have excellent banter, and the timing from them both and the cues are down to a science. Every stereotype of Fringe and theater is taken down in this show, and it still manages to pull off quite the emotional punch. If you’ve ever created art with anyone ever, you need to see this show.

What I didn't like

I felt personally attacked. But I liked it? Make me less of a masochist.

My overall impression

I hated every moment of this show. It was painful, embarrassing, and drawn out. And everyone should see it. Especially if you have ever worked with a stage manager.
