What I liked

The script was great, the cast had great comedic timing and a grasp of what was funny within the dialogue and situation. The father/son criminal duo and their aversion to violence was a great running gag.

What I didn't like

Costumes seemed a bit uninspired, but that didn’t take away from the piece at all. Really fun show worth a quick 75 minutes of your time!

My overall impression

This has been the funniest show I have seen at Fringe so far! The script cooks, the cast has great timing, and the stage setup in a hotel room was done wonderfully. You will definitely get a Three Stooges vibe from these lovable losers that are probably in the wrong profession as criminals. Absolutely laughed out loud throughout and it never felt like it dragged or went too long. Highly recommended for all! Unless you hate laughter. In that case “I’ll kick ya to death!”
