What I liked

The clarity of different characters played by the ensemble, was phenomenal work.

What I didn't like

Too long. The script goes on into a realm of nothingness and I wish IT would’ve stayed in its 45 minute time slot. Sometimes comedy can go on far too long as it stretches the laughs. The writer could use a class or two in what makes comedy funny, and better yet, what makes long form improv funny. Whilst this show had some funny moments and the beginnings of a great script, thank God it’s Fringe. There are a ton of these types of shows at fringe, see this one if you’re out at fringe central with nothing to do otherwise, eh.

My overall impression

Too long, even before it went over the time in the fringe guide. Far fetched idea about becoming a Superhero. At moments I thought, “this would make a great pilot.” Then I didn’t.
