2name = david l. levine M.D.

4rating = 5 Stars
5review = (I wish I could add a sixth star - these guys were great!). Clever,
inciteful. Reminiscent of the "beyond the fringe" brand of theater
of the l960's. INVITE THEM BACK!
- 1play = Kiwi Stand Up Experience
2name = Mike Ward
3email = IsisArtsCo@aol.com
4rating = 4 Stars
5review = Two chaps with a delightful sense of humor, alternatingly playful
and dark. Having been on tour "Fringing" the globe for many months
now, their perspectives and views regarding cultural differences was quite
delightful... and worth the $8 and the hour I had to stand (it was a standing
room only evening).
- The only possible drawback was the second gentleman, Mike, at times
couldn't be heard. A woman standing next to me asked me to ask him to speak
up (why do people always ask me to do these things?!?). I didn't. Instead,
I just enjoyed what I heard, which was 90% of what he said.
- They have only one performance left, Sunday at 1:00 and by the looks
of things, you'd better be in line by 11:30 if you want to see them. They're
worth waiting for and worth standing for.
- See them!

5review = Very funny guys from the other side of the pond. This is just
what it appears to be ...Stand Up comedy. There's no message: a nice break
between the Fringe's heavier offerings.

4rating = 4 Stars
5review = Great stuff; highlights were Mike Loder's impression of a shark
phoning an airline with suggestions for inflight safety equipment, and
Mark Scott's musical tributes to JFK Jr. and Di and Dodi. A few of their
opening night jokes, based on touring experiences in Australia and Canada,
were a little lost on the audience - apart from the Australian with Canadian
in-laws laughing in the third row (yours truly) - so you may not hear the
ones about curling and funnel-web spiders during the rest of their run.
But they're skilled comics, knowing when to ditch a gag and move onto the
next, and when they hit a good one they had the audience right behind them.
A few interjections were parried in the nicest possible way; Mike and Mark
were, above all else, bloody good company for an hour.
- All in all, these Kiwis are well worth your time. And remember, eight
of your strong American dollars are enough to feed and clothe a comedian
for a week in Antipodean parts, so give generously.
