Hosts Todd Sullivan and Alice Gillette are here to tell us what was good and what was awful because hierarchy and winning are the only reasons we do this, right?
Actually, they found 87 golden trophies at the Goodwill Bins and they refuse to lug their blue IKEA bag back onto the RTD. To save them the trip, they’re giving them all away tonight.
They’re even crowning one lucky audience member for the Best Review (so get yours in via the Google Form).
Come help them empty the bag.
Featuring live performances from:
Tiff
Jared
Villy & Aardvark
Patrick
Camera Man
Camera Baby
…and one of the Denver Nuggets?!??

Reviews on the hosts:
“THIS FEELS LIKE A TRICK OR A TRAP BECAUSE HOW DO WE LEAVE A REVIEW OF A SHOW THAT HAPPENS WHEN REVIEWS ARE BEING READ.”
-V.
“I can confidently say the hosts are not doing a good job right now!”
-Mike
“The hosts are literally reading off of an iPad like iPad babies. This is nuts. Thank god there are bits in this show from actual perfomers!”
-Sara M.
“With a gun to their heads, Alice and Todd would still probably continue to give us 1/10 energy as hosts. LOL Alice and Todd do and don’t look like they’re having a good time (as hosts) … is it a bit? Also, they’re still charming? What’s going on? BUTTTT they are definitely having a great time watching everyone when they don’t have to host.”

“Can I just say: seeing Alice Gillette walk and talk exactly like Meat Show (but in her normal clothes without any of the costume or makeup) is deeply disturbing. It’s the theatrical equivalent of finding out your parents are Santa.”

Reviews on the bits:
“I love Yama and how Yama floats.”
-Adam P. re: Yama
“Yama has starpower.”
-Alice G. re: Yama
“Morph suit guy got no love but he killed.”
-Anonymous re: Yama
“Jared’s commitment to the choreography and the inherent awkwardness of the piece is FUN and VERY DUMB! (compliment!!) It’s a fearless performance that relies on a rare, specific kind of charm to bridge the gap between the audience and the absurd. Jared’s one of my favorite clowns to watch.
-Alice G. re: Jared
“That dancing guy in the sick ass hat has a stage presence that draws you in by giving everything while simultaneously giving nothing at all.”
-Anonymous re: Jared
“This has the energy of a DIY David Lynch-inspired SNL bit. It’s a high-concept performance with an incredible payoff, where the sight of an adult man playing a baby is exactly the right kind of disturbing. “
-Lauren M. re: Cameraman
“The world-building here relied entirely on cardboard and baby monitors. This impressed me. I love seeing these artists do so much with very few props. Eerie as fuck. Cool as shit. Knowing this is being developed into an hour-long show for the Denver Fringe Festival this year has me excited and scared.”
-Anonymous re: Cameraman
“Cameraman is kind of hot.”
-Christina B. re: Cameraman
“Villy and Aardvark is an incredible use of costumes, prosthetics, and props that evokes the world of Broadway’s CATS but with a much cooler and edgier sensiblity, as if it was played by the cast of HBO’s Search Party.”
-Alice G. re: Villy and Aardvark
“Sharp pacing that moves through a series of weird games and asides that are as funny as they are surprisingly sweet. A highly specific, well-executed bit of character work. I definitely need to see this dog and aardvark (?) again.”
-Anonymous re: Villy and Aardvark
“Mike and Megan deliver so hard with their short play. It’s a twisted, noir fever dream with acrobatic choreography and immersive (and kind of bad, but very funny) mime work. There are so many windows.”
-Anonymous re: The Big Deceit
“An incredible sense of physicality. The choreography by Megan is a highlight, for sure. At one point, she jumps acrobatically onto Mike to light a cigarette like a human Rube Goldberg machine.”
-Anonymous re: The Big Deceit
“Mike’s deadpan delivery kills me. Really into the overall twisted, sexy energy of the bit. Even though it was performed in color, I was so immersed and locked in that I found myself watching it in black and white in my head.”
