Play: The Ken and Andy Show

I really loved this show! The writing is fantastic. Original, funny, mind-expanding. The acting is great. Ken and Andy are both charming and funny (not to mention very attractive). And the supporting cast is wonderful. If you can see only one show, see the Ken and Andy show. If you can see only two shows, see the Ken and Andy show twice. Seriously, it's great. I couldn't recommend it any higher.

First of all, Andy is really hot and he wears next to nothing for much of the show. Delicious! Furthermore, Andy is hilarious, as is Ken (who, by the way, is also fine, though in more of a straight way). Overall, I say sit back and enjoy the show. It's laugh out loud funny. And for two hot men, Ken and Andy have come up with a show that will blow your mind. If there was any justice in the world, Ken and Andy would get millions from Congress to bring their show to the world and the military would have to hold a bakesale. Or however that saying goes. Whatever... Just see the show. Trust me.

Loved it. Love it, loved it, loved it. It's whacky, it's funny, it's got a bitch monkey. Incredibly creative. I hope this show serves as a shot in the arm to the whole theater community. Ken and Andy are originals and I hope their vision spreads.

I didn't know what to expect of this show, but I have to say it made me laugh... hard. The acting is first rate, as is the writing. And the performances are hilarious. I highly recommend this play.

There are only three words I can utter in response to this so-called play: CEASE AND DESIST! How a couple of so-called writer-actor-producer-funnymen-gay-hetero-pseudo-intellectuals could think they could get away with stealing my precious little Yoda is beyond my amazingly prodigious (and profitable) imagination. If you ever perform this plagiaristic crap again, I will sue you so hard you won't know what hit you. And, furthermore, if I ever see either of you bitch monkeys in a dark alley, I will fuck you in the ass so hard that my Jedi cum will shoot out your eyeballs. Oh, I'd also like to add that I really enjoyed the show.

First, I likey plantains. I think that all evil people are really plantains waiting to be fried in the oil of harmony.
And point B, cutting the show down to an hour does not justly represent the genius behind Bitchmonkey's role. Wah-da-tah.

This show is a treat for the eyes and ears. Hot men in speedos that make you laugh- what's not to like. Soothe your silly soul with the Ken and Andy Show!!!

Quite funny at first, but the jokes soon got
old and the number of laughs faded. Skilled
performances by Ken, Andy, and their supporting
cast of two; but, in the end they couldn't
completely overcome the limitations of the
material. Also, too much video for a live
performance.

I saw it on Sunday and must have had a different experience than the previous reviewers who gave it 5 stars. To me it wasn't very fringe, except for some PG-13 humor. Most of it seemed closer to material you might find on Saturday Night Live.

Full blown inspired "May the Farce Be With You" silliness with actual customes , props , video clips ,and definite indications of a script. No underlying socially redeaming values other than "celery" , but lots of laughs anyway. Already playing to almost packed houses on the first weekend.

Its a roller-coaster of laughs. Ken and Andy have no shame; I wonder what these guys wouldnt do on stage. A combination of their audacious acting and a clever script make this show a must-see. Its free-speech at its best.

The videotaped news segments are occasionally clever and funny, but I can't imagine how the rest of this show would appeal to anyone. And yet, audience members were actually laughing sometimes. The writing is sophomoric at best, and the two main characters, constantly straining for laughs, obviously think they're incredibly funny; but generally the whole thing is an exhausting bore. Definitely the worst show I've ever seen at a SF Fringe Festival in the last 6 years. And this is NOT a "so bad, it's actually good" type of event.

If you like to watch The Simpsons and read the NY times than this may be the play for you. Lots of American pie-esque blow job jokes interspersed with insightful and damn funny commentary about the state of our political/corporate/materalistic culture. Chock full of your RDA of irreverance. It had a good beat and I could dance to it, I give it a ten.

The Bhagavad Gita meets Beavis and Butthead meats Politically Incorrect. Unapologetic for its hilarious potty humor, with great acting and smart writing. And I never knew a Bitch Monkey could be so alarmingly sexy.

Ken Taylor and Andy Barrett give us a solid hour of fun and laughter based on their stage personae, both of whom apparently graduated summa cum laude from the San Francisco Space Cadet Academy. This is modern bawdy sexual humor. Ken is a geeky hetero hooked on the notion he is the center of the universe. Andy is a new age gay man hooked on . . . himself. Add two Yodas -- a Homie Yoda and a Gay Yoda -- as well as Moloff, a dominatrix from The Yoda Council of the Astral Plane, and Bitch Monkey, her nimble accomplice, and there's no mental breathing room between laughs. News reports of corporate absurdities are projected on the backdrop, adding to the amusement. Artful section headings based on the chakras are also projected. Ken and Andy are my first "must-see" of the Fringe Festival this year.
