"A masterclass in the art of comedy"

- Winnipeg Free Press

 

 

An hour flies by when you’re in the company of consummate double act Caity Curtis and Stephen Sim. Taking us back to the golden days of radio, when the vaudeville legends Gracie Allen and George Burns reigned supreme, the pair successfully capture the magic of the real-life comedic couple with impeccable vocal mimicry and comedic styling.

Expertly weaving their way through timelines, aided by recordings of the original comedy duo themselves, Curtis plays an absolutely pitch-perfect Allen (evidenced by the seamless continuation of a joke from a recorded skit) while Sim, complete with (unlit) cigar, has Burns’ droll delivery and languid posture down pat.

In a sparky performance full of wit, heart and laughs, Curtis and Sim invite us to fall under their spell and we’re only too happy to oblige. A masterclass in the art of comedy that hits all the right notes.
