A really excellent bit of clowning that features broad physical comedy, acerbic audience banter, and precise character work. They manage to deftly weave in some real pathos and vulnerability as well. The audience is presented with a bawdy romp, which turns out to be a real (yet mostly comical) exploration of loss. At what moment is someone truly gone and where does a fish go when it dies? These questions and more will not be answered but you will laugh loudly through misty eyes. I hear the show is going to the Edinburgh Fringe and the performers have set up a Go Fund Me. Go fund them! ... full review

This was the most powerful theatre experience I’ve ever been to. It was genius and broke every kind of wall you can imagine , audience + performer, alive + dead ... I left in such a heightened state of awareness , it was basically a mystical experience, a hilarious and tragic epiphany.... full review

I didn't know whether to cry or laugh, laugh then cry or do both at the same time. This piece was wonderfully executed, expressing the emotions and deep absurdities that come with loss. The spontaneity in humor and on the fly commentary was the perfect touch to adding some lightheartedness to the subject. Both did an excellent job at representing the chaos and denial that comes with loss, the surface level experience of loss and how we respond/connect with it. My second time watching the piece and I know I will be back for more! ... full review

This was a great show!! They did an absolutely amazing job transitioning from humor to sadness and I am amazed at how effortlessly they did this. They created a community with their audience and provided a space for us all to connect and grieve over the loss of our loved ones. Truly an amazing show.... full review

An hour of fun and silliness punctuated by moments of stillness and heartbreak. Amrita and Gemma are excellent clowns that took great care to make sure that the entire audience was getting what they needed.... full review

I would watch any show devised by Amrita and Gemma. Intelligent, compassionate, HILARIOUS, boundary-pushing and full of surprises, this show will leave your cheeks sore from laughing and your tender heart opened wide. They've used the power of comedy and clown to do what it does in it's purest form: reminded us how connected we all are in the universal human experience of life (and death) and love. That we are more alike than different. And this is truly how comedy can change the world. It's powerful, it's palpable, and we are in great hands with Amrita and Gemma, who challenge us throughout the show, without ever making us feel unsafe (except in a fun way). ... full review
