DON'T BE SCARED

Vacuous Masterpiece

This show was quite possibly the dumbest thing I have seen ever (complimentary). It was absolutely brain dead clowning that delivered a laugh a minute until it veered into the realm of poignancy. After all, if Stacy and Gunta can make it, then maybe there’s hope for me too. If this doesn’t win Fringiest show of the festival, I am either in for a great week or I will riot in the streets.

My 5 rating for Zombie Clowns? Go figure!

Creativity 5+; Production Value 5+; Interest (subjective) 4 This was creativity incarnate. And check my 5 rating, I typically don't choose improv, clowning, nor audience participation works, but a pre-fringe review suggested that we locals might want to welcome our German friends to learn about zombies. Well, OK! And I'm so glad I did. The acting, costumes & makeup, and improv were accessible, fun, and meaningful. My only suggestion? Just a bit more of a narrative arc tieing the show description "post war corporate professionals ... workshop." Welcome to Minnesota and we hope to see you again.

Never thought absurdity could be so scary…

DON’T BE SCARED is a wonderfully weird piece of clowning that taps heavily into pure uninhibited creativity. The duo’s razor sharp improv skills and expressive facial reactions keep keep the performance engaging while tying in audience interactions to drive the action. The shared dynamic between Stacy and Gunta keeps the chaos moving forward and I rate this as a truly fun, uniquely Fringe experience.

I was a little scared

A hilarious and moving dark clown show. Very weird, very silly, but also like real. These two performers are the real deal and this show is a don't miss!

This Duo Shares One Brain Cell

Y'all, this is a weird one. No, listen to me, this one is WEIRD. This is why I come to Fringe. Rarely have I ever seen two performers so in sync.As my title suggests, these braindead zombies are sharing their one braincell to enthrall and delight you. It takes a minute to really settle in, but becomes electric. A must-see for all you freaks out there.

Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Fun opening sequence, with a clever resolution. Relied, perhaps a bit too much, on homages to popular music and audience participation. But a nice dynamic between the performers, and they kept the ball in the air. Recommended. (Likely to sell out).

Pure talent, pure fringe ;could use more structure

It definitely took me a solid 20 minutes to "get it," but once I did, I was able to focus on the brilliant performances by the leads. Phenomenal chemistry, excellent improvisation skills, and a Fringe classic. I'd teetered on giving this 4.5 stars because it could use a bit more structure to make its points, but I reconsidered because the performance skills really are that impressive. Ich liebe die Finsternis. ;)

Ooh, scary!

I loved this show. Delightfully Fringe-y, in the best sense. I hope we see these two talented performers again soon.

I love it more than a baby in the snow!

Need your fears quelled? Look no further than these zombies with immaculate harmonies! Amazing physicality--surprising from first entrance to last goodbye--I only wish I could take them home with me to save me from all the dark.
