High Tea - Highly Engaging

Fringe Description: Funny · Family Friendly · Intellectual

So at the end of the show I look down to realize I don't have any notes... it means I was engaged. I loved watching these two experienced performers play.  They had us at the entrance of the Teapot, followed by Jamesy Evans with his bumbling precision is outstanding and finally enters the straight man James Brown our solid sounding board also outstanding. The two of them play off each other as the seasoned pros they are, they quickly and effortlessly lay out the rules of engagement and we are all off on the High Tea, high seas, adventure. 

Every moment shows us the vastness of the imagination and we get a snapshot of what an imagination unleashed looks like, and the experience is truly delightful! 

This all makes what they do sound easy and it does look and feel like they are having fun and of course it should.  However, the reality is that it isn't at all easy to do this kind of physical comedy it is work and in order to perform with this level of ease is an achievement and is exceptional. You won't see this type of show very often, as these two have honed their craft and are in shape and that take dedication, physical strength and a passion to do it right. So it is no surprise I didn't have time to take notes and was engaged from the top of show to its conclusion. 

A foot note: They are so good that when the audience is asked to participate they don't hold back, they step up and play the role(s) assigned to the best of their ability and that  says a great deal about how people feel about this show.  

So, go experience it for yourself... that's assuming it is not sold out.
