Two men wearing pajamas with only two wicker chairs as props should be able to be so clever, entertaining and laugh out loud funny. The sho starts with the guys running a pregnant woman, in labour through the corridors of a maternity ward and they maintain the frantic pace for the next 75minutes.
In this opening sequence the two of them play the doctors, the expectant mother and father, the baby and a group of 9 lazy nurses. Sometimes the changes between multiple character occurs across a single line of dialogue. Throughout the show they also introduce a vast array of characters including brilliantly simple aliens.
Pajama Men perform a fabulously scripted and multifaceted show, clearly proving their Barry Award winning show in 2009 was no fluke. They know what makes their show funny and milk every possible laugh out of the dialogue, every character’s voice and facial expression and nuance of movement.
A uniquely physical comedy, you will not see another show quite like this at this year’s festival.
