I agree with the feeling of greater expectation and the feeling of grand disappointment. Yes, the 5 minute clip is from a 60 minute show. But someone chose that 5 minutes as a marketing tool. As I only have the time and resources to see two or three Fringe shows, please add another clip that highlights the best of the show considering some potential audience members are clearly missing the joke. Maybe I'm just foolish and maybe I'm the only one, but I expected a lot more from such great talent.

understood. we think this is funny. and we think the rest of the show is funny. perhaps it is not a show for you. we have no intention of giving anything else away. it is a stage play and that was the only moment that was easily translatable to film. Also that scene is really the tamest one. If you do not like the characters, I can assure you they never return. Otherwise we recommend Nell Weatherwax in "And I Am Not Making This Up" . She is excellent, and always a delight to behold.

Female masturbation and pubic hair, shoving erasers in butt holes, sleeping with the boss (see unforeseeable plot twist), etc. No dramatic action; No real point; and the only conversation is pornographic. Satire is one thing, but this is less than funny. I had high hopes for this show. Foolish me. There wasn't even a laugh track. It's like a teenage "Sex in the City" rip off meets "Dude, Where's My Car?" Why insult our intelligence? Evolve beyond primates, people. No really. Evolve!

we are trying to figure out why you assume dildos are used for FEMALE masturbation...and where there is a reference to pubic hair. This is a 5 minute clip from a 60 minute show. We are sorry you lost those 5 minutes to something that upset you so terribly you felt the need to spend 5 more complaining about it.

Saw the premier show and had sore face from laughing; as good as it gets; get ready to thoroughly enjoy yourself; DO NOT MISS this show at Fringe!

I saw the show on Friday night and LOVED it. My wife and I commented that we were afraid that you set the bar too high. So far, our fears have been correct.

FYI, I'm a stodgy CPA who thought this video and the whole show was hilarious! I've already been on the phone this morning encouraging my clients to see this show.

Bravo ladies! You are awesome and I'm hoping I can see the show again this week sometime. I suspect every show will be standing room only.

did you just join youtube to be overly critical of this video?

sheesh.

and since when is having a laugh track a GOOD thing?

do you need to be told when to laugh?

[PaJoMcK]

When someone can comment at such lengths about their great distaste and insult, maybe an eraser up the ass is just what one needs. And maybe this is the point.  Love Kondrat and Irwin - a deadpan line from either is worth the price of admission.

Hooray! The show is so funny and I am so thrilled to see women being funny and being allowed to make jokes that usually men only get to make.

BUT GO SEE THE SHOW AT INDY FRINGE

(it's worth it!)

the accents, the talent, the energy.

BRAVO
