5review = Had a good laugh and silly time at this campy and casual show. We all enjoyed ourselves, as did my friend who got called up for the american response to fecal descriptions bit. They really appear to be having a good time which is what makes it work, the material and the characters aren't that high quality, but the silliness of it all carries it through. Loved the magnetic spoon characters (if only to see fatty submit a bit).
I did wish pinhead would rebel just a little though.
a frivilous and unself conscious show - check it out.

5review = Two classic comedy types -- a bossy one and a dumb one -- in a classic Fringe variety show. Some banter, some dancing, some audience volunteers, some magic tricks, some naughty words like "fart", and a brilliant re-wording of a song from "Chess" by ABBA. Imagine them outdoors in a park, entertaining a crowd.
(The Fatty and Pinhead characters are really well played. And the two other characters in one sketch, Kiki and Silky, are so different it makes you wonder what the actors are really like.)

5review = After 3 Dismally self-important shows, what a pleasant suprise to have FUN at the Fringe with this wonderfully daffy, Postmodern female New Zealand Laurel and Hardyesque duo cheers ladies, you made my night!

5review = Bizzar. Some skits are soooo bad, they're alost funny––almost. About 20% of the show is entertaining; the other 80% is beyond awful. It's like watching your children put on a play--only they're not that good, and thank god they're not your children!
