A future phenomenon

Opening their show with a song about Cucks is a strong start for the duo who’s show explores archetypes of 2010’s men. What the duo have in spades, is charm and crazily intelligent humour, some of which is translatable, some less so. You just need to be careful if you’re not a 2010’s male archetypes fan – you may get lost in the insanely specific references. 

I can imagine this duo being future superstars of sketch tv such as Saturday Night Live, cult classics with their own following of those who really do know as much as they do about Mitt Romeny. 

Their musical skills are impressive and for a musical theatre geek in particular, their nuance in that style is very entertaining. 

Where the show lacks the impact the duo deserves, is in its structure and staging. A clearer narrative stringing together the sketches/songs would elevate the work in general, including making it clear that the final song is indeed the end. Additionally, in terms of stage lighting, the pair had the audience lit up during the whole show while not being lit themselves (I believe this was a technical error), but unfortunately it further lends itself to the feel that this show is more a workshop rather than the final polished piece.

Overall, definitely go see this duo at the start of their journey, it’s worth it!
