I've seen this show a number of times including during the Fringe Festival and always observe a wonderful response from the audience both during and immediately after the show. I spoke with several people who were there because others had told them not to miss it. Nichols and May style is a common comparison. Mr Treanor might want to do his homework before he gives his next mean spirited and un-researched review. Tyler Bunch (not Brunch as written) and Melissa Leebaert were collaborators; all creative work was done by McClosky and Myers. We were part of the Production team, Tyler helped with production on digital shorts and I did production on VO. Perhaps Mr. Treanor is intimidated by the names he feels it so important to mention such as Gary Austin's.  I found this review to be almost gleefully unkind and hurtful, it leads me to question what's going on Tim? Christina and Luke have a wonderful reputation and a strong following, including Michael Gelman - director of Second City Chicago, Jeffrey Sweet an award winning playwright and author of the iconic Improv book 'Something Wonderful Right Away' and yes, Gary Austin. Personally I look forward to following the careers of McClosky and Myers for Many years to come. I feel this reviewer must have been having a very very bad day indeed.
