REVIEWS:

You will laugh until your sides feel as if they will burst, until your eyes begin to water, until you are sure that one more clever line or witty exchange will send you into a laughing fit from which you may never recover.

The Chicago Sun Times

Truly high comedy...I can't think of a soul who wouldn't love the off beat characters.
