Customer Reviews
So so SO GOOD.
It’s really a travesty this doesn’t have like over 1k 5star reviews. You don’t know me but trust me, this. Is. Amazing.
Whoever the people who gave this a one star are I would never want to hang out w. They probably wear Vicks vapor rub as perfume and make every meal in a microwave. And think jay leno is funny.
Kinda genius
If you’re reading reviews to see if you should listen….you should listen…stop reading go listen.
Wildly entertaining and inventive
The show is so refreshing and funny! I finished the show-and I hope there are more productions like this coming soon
