ClockBusters offers us some fun skits on adult topics. But the most memorable
parts for me were the folk-style songs delivered by Reannie Roads.

Great, twisted, original sketch comedy! The frenetic pace and unpredictability
of the material kept it fun and fresh, and it could have gone on for double
or triple its length without losing the audience -- though that much concentrated
laughter would've required health warnings on the program (which in itself
was pretty dang funny!). Reannie's songs were entertaining enough to deserve
a backing band, and the recurring answering machine messages during set
changes were a great device! Bravo!

SO ... this was a group of friends who maybe took an improve class or two
together and decided, "Hey ... Let's do a Fringe show." The description
in the program has nothing to do with the content of this show - which in
itself was a bit annoying. While some of the songs and some of the energy
was enthusiastic, it wasn't woven together and it did not seem well rehearsed
at all. My favorite bit was the casting agent from the South who ends up
with an Asian dialect coach. Other than that, I really could have saved
my $8. Maybe next year.

Well - I don't know this for sure - but it seems like
some folks took a class together and then said - "Hey - let's
put on a play!" And I don't know this for sure - but
I don't think they had a lot of time to rehearse. And I don't know
this for sure - but it seems like they started to write a play
about a woman's biological clock going off - but then there were
some sketches that they thought were funny and they decided to
stick them in there anyway. The play lacked a theme or a "common thread"
The transitions really needed work.
The cast seemed to be having a lot of fun. The problem was - they
didn't seem to care much if the audiece was doing the same. (Psssst. No
need to spend all that time in the wings putting your hair into a
different style. We still knew who you were and the "hurried"
look of
the style was just distracting.) Some good performances - especially from
the short woman with the dark hair. You never know what you're going to
get at
the fring. Some great stuff - some not so great stuff. This show
rounded out my fringe experience.

It a major feat to write genuinely funny sketch comedy, but Rennie Roads
pulls it off with out a hitch. I was laughing the moment the lights hit
the stage. Rennie is an incredibly talented writer and performer and with
support from the rest of her excellent cast, this was truly an enjoyable
evening of theatre. Try not to miss this one! It's laugh-out-loud and intelligent
entertainment!!

There's some hilarious sketches here. The Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
bit is especially fine. Top notch comedic acting. The looniest bit involves
an egg -- I want to tell you more about it but I shouldn't so I won't. Go
see it.
