What I liked

The songs were catchy as hell, thanks in large part to the expert beatboxing skills of Shaun Fisher who sets the pace and never relinquishes it. Domonique Brown and John Tucker are absolutely delightful as the two leads, and their comic timing was spot-on throughout the performance. Brendan McKay and Conor Hanney are some nice additional comic relief peppered throughout the piece.

What I didn't like

Again – I’d have loved to have spent another 15-minutes or so with this show.

My overall impression

The most pleasant surprise I’ve had this entire Fringe. I was smiling from beginning to end. Well-written, well-directed, and deftly acted by a group of insanely energetic performers, some of whom don’t get nearly enough opportunities to show what they can do on a stage.
