It'sa risk. Basically, they've got a few half-baked ideas calling their dads; letting the audience ask them personal questions but they're open to whatever. Party horns are distributed (sadly, I didn't get one); blow your horn and they'll switchgears.

These guys are ridiculously likeable and effortlessly funny even when they're not really saying anything but this is one of those shows in which success will depend on circumstances. (The highlight of the performance I attended was a YouTube screening of the House Hippo PSA, a classic to Canadians of a certain age. We also played an inane board game created in tribute toone-time Australian pop star Jason Donovan.)

When the stars align, it's going to be awesome. When they don't? Blow your horn.
