    Ребята , нужно Ваше мнение , кто знает или сталкивался.

    Есть желание приобрести колечко с бриллиантом массой более карата, но понимаю , что это стоит безумных денег и мне не по карману.

    Но слышала , что есть облагороженные бриллианты, которые ничем не отличаются от обычных, но стоят меньше в

    два раза.

    Кто-нибудь вообще держал такие в руках, они правда красивы ?

    I had some great laughs. I certainly never knew what was coming next and I left with a belly ache from laughing. Totally absurd. Thank you boys!

    I’d have to strongly disagree with the above poster on this one! These two gents have put together an incredibly fun and energetic show with a lot of great physical comedy and innovative bits. It really breaks the mold of the usual sketch shows you see around town and it’s the most innovative piece of comedy I’ve seen in awhile.

      OK – the scene with the chair WAS damn good. But we stand by the rest of our review. D & D

  1. 2- Words No-Good!

    While the two gentlemen obviously have many talents, they apparently chose not to use most of them in this performance, which had look and feel of mediocre improv. When performers laugh at their own jokes, it is a sign of desperation and annoys the audience.
