Theatre Reviews

This group of four San Fran­cis­co based phys­i­cal come­di­ans bring us a west­ern-themed clown show to this year’s Fringe. The show starts out in the clas­sic style of a Char­lie Chap­lin rou­tine, but then wan­ders into a more mod­ern, more ridicu­lous and more bizarre realm of com­e­dy. The title real­ly does sum up the show; there were some good” rou­tines in here, the char­ac­ters are fun and over­all the show was enjoy­able to watch. There were also some bad” things about the show; like jug­gling rid­dled with inten­tion­al mis­takes and the fact that the show went on about 15 min­utes longer than it should have for this sort of comedy. 

Last but not least this show is the just plain stu­pid”, although this is what makes it so sil­ly and fun to watch. It is not the kind of show that will have you dou­bled over laugh­ing, but it is a show that will keep a smile on your face. A warn­ing though, there are seg­ments of audi­ence par­tic­i­pa­tion which real­ly do push the bound­ary of I can’t believe they’re doing this’. Thank­ful­ly, dur­ing the per­for­mance I attend­ed, the audi­ence was enjoy­ing the expe­ri­ence so much they had plen­ty of vol­un­teers offer to come up and the ones that did were good sports about every­thing. This is a goofy show that will put a smile on your face; it just should have been 15 min­utes shorter.
