REVIEW: idiots… GAY idiots
Reading Time: < 1 minuteidiots… GAY idiots is exactly what it says on the tin. Very gay and very idiotic! Enter this vaudeville cabaret for an hour of belly laughing whilst watching various acts including drag, stand up, comedy and buckets of tomfoolery. The show is “sort of hosted by Grace Fool and actually hosted by Jennifer Schmenier.” The pair are a slick, entertaining and funny, funny, funny double act. They bring the glitz, the glam, some great one liners, hilarious songs and a bunch of funny sketches. They share the stage with various acts who all brought a hilarious and wonderful uniqueness to their shows. From show twinks to gays on rollerblades and a witch with a basket ball plus that woman dressed as a milk-man slash cow- this show is a whirlwind of some of the best gay idiots around and they sure do know how to give you a great time!
