Fringe Review: Assembly Required: Comedy A To Y

By Robert Goldberg - July 11, 2011


Helen Hayes Award-winning No Rules Theatre Company’s Joshua Morgan and Brian Sutow are back once more as the zany and off-the-wall Rob & Flick with another ‘Shlecture’; this time, a Shlecture about – ‘everything you need to know about comedy.’ It is, indeed, a burlesque roller coaster of emotional highs and lows, complete with audience participation, and original music by Joshua Morgan.

Assembly Required… is a show for uninhibited theater goers who like to have their buttons pushed – boundaries invaded, and ultimately -their senses shocked over the edge. This show is wildly outrageous, energetic, ribald, bawdy and lewd. It is also a sweet relationship story as playwright Brian Sutow interweaves a comedy lecture with the story of an intimate relationship that slowly reveals itself.

If you can handle a production with ‘no rules’, an ‘anything goes’ –that wants to shock you mentally – then Assembly Required: Comedy A To Y is for you. Rob & Flick are the only performers in town who would have the ‘balls’ to put on this kind of entertaining and drawers-dropping show! You’ll love this brief-encounter with these crazy guys!

Running time: 70 minutes, plus they run around a lot.
