Description:

Romantic Fools consists of two-character comedies examining love, lust, dating, and romance. With influences of Monty Python, Saturday Night Live, Jules Feiffer, the Marx Brothers, and classic vaudeville comedy, these sketches vary in style but all celebrate the inherent comedy of male-female relationships. This show is for mature audiences. Reviews: ”Outrageously over the top. A no-holds-barred look at the battle of the sexes." “A side-splitting comedy. You’ll ache from non-stop laughing.”

    We saw Romantic Fools on opening night. It was absolutely amazing! The cast was hilarious and engaging! The scenes flowed well and the music was great! If you get a chance to see Romantic Fools during Fringe Fest, you won’t want to miss it! Cyclopedic Ensemble does great work! We have loved everything they have done!

    This was a perfect fringe show! Strong comedic actors who were laugh-out-loud funny. I’m glad I saw this one!

    If you’re looking for an hour of nonstop laughs, Romantic Fools is a must-see! Highly recommend seeing it in the front row, especially if you’re on a first date with someone that you just met.

    For a fun evening of fast paced comedy, I highly recommend Romantic Fools. The cast is talented and full of energy! . The “naughty bits” kept us laughing throughout. And you definitely want to sit on the front row!!

      Christopher Morgan and the rest of the cast do a great job of playing multiple characters in these short romantic comedy scenes. It is interactive, so if you sit in the front row, be prepared to be involved 🙂

    I just watched a woman have a better date with a caveman than I’ve had with any guy from an app. The parody and exaggerated experiences of romance, love, and lust in Romantic Fools is over-the-top and non-stop. A sensational blend of verbal, vulgar, and visual humor—though if sheep are your favorite animal, you might not feel the same. Like a golden era sketch show, the props were just as funny as the actors. While the patrons on the front row were sacrificed to the comedy gods, I’ve never been more thankful in my life to be a compulsive third row seater. The innuendos were flying faster than a 747, occasionally dodging some gender stereotypes that would have landed better in 2011. I was impressed by the entire ensemble whose comedic timing was punchy and flawless throughout. This production would not have been successful without the constant commitment from each of the actors.

    Very funny with great acting and a great group of actors! Rated mature for sure, and super worth a watch. Best time I had at Fringe!
