Loved the show, very funny but could have done without the Trump skit. Thankfully, there was just one political skit.

Terrific as usual-what you would expect from this cast. They are a topical group, so the political commentary was spot on.

Some clever, wittty funny stuff. But surely they can do without so many bathroom jokes – just lazy writing. AND, please, turn down the volume. WAY to LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a very talented group of voice actors that perform the sharply written material well, without fail. I imagine the material changes a bit from show to show; the one I attended contained a lot of political commentary, which is better for those who are not a fan of the current Administration. Still, as well as they skewer Trump and Putin and healthcare, perhaps the best bits are their hilarious commercials that are quirky and a good parody of our current culture. Hard to imagine anything less than a well-polished and funny sketch show from this impressive group.

Great show. Starts with mostly political skits and then moves to non-political skits. Well written and delivered well. Right Between the Ears is a weekly radio show that performs live every year at the Fringe. Similar to Prairie Home Companion with a format similar to SNL. I give this show a nine out of ten. The guy that plays Trump was good, but if he could make his voice sound more like Trump it would be even better and more authentic.

I really enjoyed the show. I do feel there was a lot of political humor, but hey, that’s what people are talking about today. The voices were well done, the sound effects spot on! I highly recommend!

Funny, well-written and performed skits. A blend of smart and silly humor, the show balances political and non-political humor. Well respected actors and performers. Totally worth the visit!

The Trump stuff was the funniest. The guy playing Trump should have had a longer red tie, it didn’t even reach his knees. Wish they would have done more. Certainly, there is no lack of potential material.

Wonderful, topical humor. A previous comment on this site compared them to SNL. I disagree. These folks are much funnier. Except for the “weekend update,” SNL is barely watchable most weeks. Apparently the troupe is correct in assuming that Trump supporters generally don’t attend Fringe. I have seen the group at past Fringes and hope to see them again. One thing that makes seeing this show live especially entertaining is watching the sound effects person go through her motions.

Love these folks! An enjoyable show, but this year, some of the scripts were for me, a little weak and not too funny. My favorite part is the sound effects!

The volumn was way too high. I would rather miss a word here and there than have to put fingers over my ears. Still this waws the 2nd favorite of the 8 shows I attended. Some good jokes. Please drop some of the bathroom humor. I’ts not funny, just disgusting.
