With incredible pacing, comedic timing, chameleon level character shifts, queer representation and romance, this show knocks it out of the park.

This show had me laughing out of my seat the entire time while still touching on impactful story points and moving the audience. The actors were skilled and while they played multiple characters (sometimes in conversation with themselves) the staging, physicality, and character commitment never had you questioning who was on stage at any given point.

The story was moving and funny, the costumes were lovely, the actors were fantastic, the production design was gorgeous, and I cannot recommend it more. One of my top favs of this fringe, I can’t wait to see what this team does next!

Top Bunk Theatre once again brings nothing but the best absurdist joy to the Fringe stage.

If you’ve been to a Top Bunk production before, you know you can expect to laugh the entire time and this show is no exception. Taking place in a 70s courtroom, the action never slows down. The three-day court proceedings are interlaced with acid trips and revelational flashbacks (and catchy musical numbers) that tell both the story of the court case and the history of the two feuding titular lawyers.

The choreography was captivating and retro and the costumes were gorgeous. The script is a tapestry of small comedic bits woven together to keep you laughing the whole time. The fight scene came out of left field in the best possible way and was executed by the cast impeccably.

While I did get a little lost in the plot a couple of times, the show had me laughing out of my seat and I was still humming along days later. All in all the ensemble operated as one fantastic unit and every cast member committed to the ridiculousness so earnestly that you are drawn right in with them, hanging onto every moment.

Go see Pork & Beans to brighten your day!
