What I liked

Everything. Literally everything about this show worked. The actors were all top-notch. The plot was so damn (censored to not spoil anything). And the satire was great as it attacked every side with equal viciousness and bite and that made it enormously fun and dark and terrible.

What I didn't like

The show is ****ing perfect. Seriously. Props to you, Jim, and your whole cast.

My overall impression

There is something so dark and so delicious at the core of this production that I can’t effectively describe it in a review. Saying ANYTHING about the plot itself will destroy one of the best surprises that I’ve seen in any Fringe show this year. Jim Hanna has put together a show that’s incredibly funny, dark, bitter and then goes places I would NEVER have expected. I sincerely hope this show both extends and gets a chance to move elsewhere (like New York). It 100% deserves it.
