    Very hilarious show. Didn’t think a bbq competition lent itself to much comedy. Very wrong on my part.

    Great show and performances. The section from the film portion on the meat comparisons are on the level of a Christopher Guest film.

    Loved it. Partially scripted, mostly improv, with some Christopher Guest thrown in there. Very interesting multimedia presentation. Super fun to watch!

    Incredible chemistry between every single one of the actors. Near seamless transitions between live and filmed portions allow this comedic experiment to rise above its chaos and yield a fluid yet unpredictable narrative unlike any the Fringe sees. Undeniably good.
