This show provides a different kind of approach to a murder mystery, all wrapped in this big ball of silly, physical, and witty fun. This cast was in it! It was amazing to see them bring life to the various Commedia characters, and all of the craziness that ensues in this story! There was never a dull moment on stage. Definitely a recommended viewing!

If you have enjoyed the stock characters of Commedia Dell’Arte before, then this transplanting of the art form into the town of Popular Hawk is exactly the kind of farce you would expect, and done with panache and just enough self-aware winking. If that preceding run-on sentence means nothing to you – a solid hour of slapstick, brilliant timing, word play, physical humor, and ongoing layers of bits so funny you’ll have to remember to breathe from the heaving belly laughs await you. Don’t miss a show that made me laugh so hard I had side stitches at a time of night I’m usually getting ready to go to bed. I expected fun, and this show delivered so well I might need to see it a second time. Featuring a rock star cast of known KC clowns, actors, and some up-and-comers from various art forms, your Fringe is not complete without a little snakeoil and a couple tumbleweeds.

I had never seen this type of theater before and am so happy I finally got the chance! Most characters wore really funny masks, there was lots of physical comedy, funny sounds, and so much silliness. I laughed a lot! It’s always a treat to see Beth Byrd, and I’ve been watching the talented Jessica Whitfield in all types of Fringe shows for years. Check this one out!
