Laughed So Hard I Cried

Opening night slayed!

From the great script, to "the script", to the staging and the energetic stage presence, this perfectly-paced Ode to the 90s is so immersive that at one point I actually caught myself thinking Matt and Ben were on stage... no cap! (Low key, the last 2 words of that sentence - and the first 2 of this one - are my mid-life crisis' attempt to stay current)

There are tons of 90s references and inferences that gave me an alternating, steady stream of chuckles, chortles, giggles and guffaws. Whether you are like me and have vivid memories of this decade and the film it refers to, or if you were born well after it and the first film you've seen by either of these 2 characters was Gone Girl or even The Odyssey, this play slaps.

Mad props to the cast and crew, and a big shout out to The Fringe for giving us this gift of live performances every year!

See it, support it, and Tip the Fringe!
