I really enjoyed this show. It was weird enough to be "fringey" and had enough of a plot and good dialog to make some sense on an intellectual plane. Great story, albeit slightly silly - which is OK - of following a dream and committment to your friends - even if it means dressing up like a Yeti and dancing to "We are the Champions." A little absurd, French/Norwegian Monty Python, Don Quixote, and the North Pole, and you've got Nharcolepsy.

I laughed, even when I wasn't sure why - very silly offbeat humor in a Monty Python tradition!

Great entertainers and performances. Script a bit slight, but the actors, particularly the physicality of "Nhar", made for an enjoyable hour

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. It had a hallucinatory/dream-like quality to it. I especially savored the Assistant's physical humor.

You'll never hear "We Are The Champions" the same again!

This was my first show of the fringe. Now that I've seen several others, I can safely say that it was one of my favorites, because I was entertained thouroughly. Funny... Funny is good.

I can't believe these guys aren't Canadian! This is a brand of humor that americans might be familar with from duos like the MaKensey Brothers, only more intellectual , talented , and way more suave , eh? The most genuine , sustained laughter I've heard at any Fringe show. Dryly , brilliantly humerous and surprisingly touching at the end. Goes on the must see list.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. The show is hilariously clever and very well-paced, the actors are excellent and complement each other perfectly. I was surprised to find myself so moved by the ending, and, in fact, I didn't want it to end. Oh well.

Best of the 5 shows I've seen! These two guys put together a beatifully crafted mix of physical comedy and hilariously surreal monologues. The surprise is, after laughing the whole time, I was actually touched by the ending. I really cared about these two oddball characters and their ridiculous quest.

I have seen other fringe shows and throughly enjoyed them. This performance, however, was truly a waste of my hour and my evening. I did smile once or twice, because the execution of these actors was so off, but I did not experience any of the hilarity that other reviewers cant seem to stop talking about.
This play(or randomness) was about two guys on a search for a some strange creature in the north pole. The humor is supposed to be very dry, but is full of cliches, bad accents, and sour jokes that are so often simple tautologies.

I highly discourage anyone from goign to see this play, I dont know what type of person it takes to enjoy a show like this, but definitely not a good-humored one.

I am glad theaters like Exit exist, but hopefully acting like this will peter out.

I hope i get lucky on my next fringe outing.

Weird...very, very weird. Gotta wonder how these guys came up with this but glad they did cause it kept me laughing late at night after a long day of Fringing. Get your pitching arm ready and don't be afraid to ask for more balls when you walk in. You'll need them.

Fantastic! Humorous in a masterful way. I can truly say that these two guys - who you'll end up caring a LOT about - are doing a brand of humor so unique that I've never seen anything like it. For me it was a wonderfully silly yet poignant humor... yeah, somehow it felt both childlike and mature. Usually comedies try to hard for my taste, but these guys just have it unfold in a way you've got to see to understand. Personally, I will see this show twice. (PS - I don't know either performer from Jack. I suppose if I did I would have a hard time being so unabashedly high on what they did).

These two odd-balls are absolutely hilarious. Dead-pan and downright ludicrous, their intelligent brand of bizarro humor borders on sheer genius. You'll laugh from start to finish, but won't quite be able to explain why. Physical comedy meets excellent writing in a seriously strange concoction. A definite must see.
