All Government men are from the 50's and sound like Robert Stack from Unsolved Mysteries, don't they? And why does Archie Andrews always pick Veronica over Betty when Betty's clearly got it going on? It's possible that we can answer these much debated questions in 45 minutes. Consequently, there may be swearing.

 

Garfield and Marmaduke, two clueless G-Men, attempt to train their audience in the fine art of commie detection and hunting.  Often verging on bad taste, the silliness and sheer energy of these two out-dated officers carry the viewers on waves of hilarity while avoiding all seriousness and thought provocation.  G-Men Defectives lets everyone forget about the pressures and problems of the everyday while allowing the audience to laugh so hard they pee a little.  Audience participation and selective improvisation join to create and original masterpiece every time!

“Often terribly clichéd and verging on bad taste, these two are irresistibly energetic performers.  Besharah is delightfully energetic as the sad-sack Marmaduke, while Domville has the pathos of a Jim Carrey.” 

-  (Denis Armstrong, Ottawa Sun)
