Jeff and Grungled KNOW FRILLS

Jeff and Grundled is a fun romp into masculinity and what lengths people will go to to get a "free" cupcake.

The two leads have great working chemistry and clearly had fun putting the show together. The story isn't perfect, but it has a lot of funny moments and touching moments that ultimately led to an entertaining show. They have a good amount of audience participation, which keeps people engaged, and their physical comedy was top tier.

This show was delightfully silly.

The physical comedy, the intellectual comedy, the comedy for comedy's sake. It made the audience laugh throughout.

You could tell they worked meticulously on crisping up the storybeats as they were punchy and funny.

However, the best parts were improvised.

And the show even had an emotional ride.

No spoilers.

I did stifle a tear near the end, then I realized I should let it roll. Because 'what it takes to be a real man' is the willingness to show vulnerability and share it with those around you.

Overall, these are two really, funny people.

This show was an absolute delight to take in. I’m so glad I was able to catch it, you should definitely go see this before it’s gone! A funny and light hearted take on a long standing issue that has become ever more relevant in today’s age - what is a man? Jeff and Grungled take us on an adventure that explores masculinity hilariously but while still making the point clear - being a man is what you make it.

Jeff and Grungled take you along on their journey towards being ‘real men’ and understanding exactly what that may, or may not, entail.

Their outdoor venue is perfectly suited to their hijinx and unique set which creates an expansive world within our own. Be transported into a fantastic and surprising retail experience with bargains galore and perhaps more than you (or they) bargained for!

Concept clowning and controlled chaos kept the audience in stitches, entertained, and thinking for the entirety of this amazing show!

Highly recommend this wonderful creation!

I ate this show up! The performers are so talented and I loved the premise. It was hilarious. Would definitely go back to see this show again.

Silly and funny. I like the fake grocery store and the juggling of fake apples. They are great clowns and the subject is very Canadian.

Truly captivating and charming clownery! It touched me and tickled me pink. (and purple)

Attention, shoppers! The two perky apple-cheeked characters we meet in this light, bright diversion of a clown show are wonderstruck by the possibilities in grocery shopping.... (read full 12thnight review)

the FUNNIEST show I’ve ever seen, I’ll admit I didn’t know what to expect going into it especially with it being a relaxed performance, but I genuinely had the BEST time.

There were things I really appreciated about this show including the great vibes from the audience supporting it and the characters themselves. Lots of potential, but for me, the storyline meandered a bit too much in places (shower). Still, lots to look forward to in this one and I applaud the actor's skills and comedic effect of some parts.

Jeff and Grungled KNOW FRILLS is a clownish children’s-cartoon-esque show about two gender non-specific best friends exploring the bounds of masculinity. Yeah, it’s very fun.

The show's props and set are bright and animated, drawing attention before the action even begins. The two actors wear colourful clothes and bold painted on makeup making them pop off the stage. The performers' voices were animated and brought a lovely sense of goofiness to the two protagonists. The premise of the story leads to thoughtful questions that are executed in a silly way without disguising their importance.

Sign language interpreters translated the entire show so that all audience members could follow along. The show employed the use of audience interaction to help Jeff and Grungled define masculinity which was highly amusing. Their use of sound was creative and added to the animated atmosphere. The actors used the entire space to help tell their story which was hilarious and clever.

Jeff and Grungled KNOW FRILLS is a lighthearted and joyful piece of theatre.

Clowns, lotsa laughs, and a real life shopping cart, what more could you want!?

Stagecraft! Whimsy! Plenty of very funny and surprising bits and gags. I’m a lover of clowns so this was right up my alley. Plenty of simple but effective props which I loved. As much as a sumptuous set is wonderful to look at, the limitations of a sparser setup add so much to the creativity of a production. I was actually a bit touched at the end, when the show turned more earnest. The cost of masculinity is the loss of meaningful relationships. Some moments felt a bit long, and some gags repetitive if you’re not a big fan of clowning. The show also ended 10 minutes early which is always nice when you have a full schedule.
