The Horrible Friends—Duke of Kent Legion

The Horrible Friends are so damn quick you don’t have time to see their eyes twinkle when they come up with the zingiest of scene ending lines. The long-standing improv duo has been making crowds roar for years, and don’t seem to be slowing down. The most enjoyable scene of the evening for me (where, sure, I wet my pants a little) was the hilarious parody (can you call something a parody, if the actors haven’t seen the original?) of Fringe’s THE QUEST. Luke played Hannah and Shawn engaged with the audience in a very mean-to-Hannah choose-your-own-adventure scene. Seating at the Legion isn’t spacious and the sight lines aren’t exactly excellent, but the performers use it judiciously and hilariously. Also, the drinks are cheap and the audience can sometimes be an entertaining sideshow act. You should see The Horrible Friends. (I wish I’d brought a change of pants).
