Here's an Orlando Fringe Festival show I actually want to see: THE DUMB SHOW by Hawk and Wayne. (tickets, about) I just got the press release today. Its long-form improvisation (yay!), the rating is Mature (hey!) and they're in the Blue Venue (sweaty!). I am marking this a "must see." Read below to see why. Show times at the end of the post.
THE DUMB SHOW is a hilarious, irreverent, surreal take on the world from the minds of two long-form improvisors. Starting with a simple audience suggestion, Hawk and Wayne create a series of characters and scenes that showcase the best and worst of humanity, and will have you laughing and shaking your head in wonder at the same time.Show Times:
