I knew I was going to like this show already when I got handed a York peppermint patty while waiting in line to get in. And it kept getting better. The Halfwits' Last Hurrah is one of those shows that is so fun and zany that it makes you wish you were a part of it, and then before you know it, you actually are fully part of the action. They make you feel like this show was created for you and with you and that's the kind of theatre I love most. Don't miss this rad show. If you're looking for laughs (who isn't?), definitely check this out. ...

Hurrah to Four Clowns on an amazingly hilarious show! 'The Halfwit's Last Hurrah' was the second show produced by Four Clowns that I had the pleasure of watching, the first being Cal State Long Beach's production of 'Ubu The Shit', and I couldn't have been more entertained. Four Clowns really knows how to create an experience for audience members. The show begins from the moment you stand in line! You're greeted by the incredibly charming Meri Winkle "the liquor vendor" as you wait and enter the theater, then the fun continues! I recommend sitting in the front row if, like me, you're a fan of the possibility of interacting and even becoming a part of the show!
The show is cleverly written and incorporates so much more than the expected ...

It is a well-known tenant that drama is easy, and comedy is hard. Nothing could be further from the truth. But what is so miraculous of comedy is the effortlessness of the performers that makes us laugh. Laughter is a particular trait, one that cannot be easily analyzed, but we call all agree that it is one our best, and in some ways, most noble aspects.
The Halfwit’s Last Hurrah by Four Clowns is a mixture of satire, slapstick, sight gags, and acrobatics. All performed with the same kind of grace one would expect from a ballet, only this is exceedingly hysterical. It is truly comedic. And I dare to say homage to Ernie Kovacs, as the production has a slight edge and irreverence, yet still contains tight structure. Not a moment is wasted; t...

I love Four Clowns! Different from previous shows I've scene from them, this being more of a variety show, but it still has the wonderful energy and play I expected from the talented cast! I love that the audience was invited to be a part of the experience and we all giggled the whole way through together. ...

This show was brilliant. I loved every minute of it. From the preshow to the final song I was completely engaged. I saw this group do "That Beautiful Laugh" at the Playhouse a couple years ago...and they just keep impressing me! Kudos to your whole production team on a smash hit! This is one of those shows that you CANNOT miss!...

With this show you get a little bit of everything- singing, dancing, clowning, acrobatics, stilt walking and more! Yes, it's a variety show, but there is a story line to weave all the acts together. Go for a full night of laughs!...

I can't remember the last time I went to see a piece of theatre and had so much freaking fun. These clowns deliver a surefire hit. A great night of captivating theatre. I loved how they dealt with the audience and how they incorporated us into the show and made us part of it. I want to see this again to see if anything changes! so much fun!...

This show was truly remarkable. I love laughing, genuinely, from my soul. This show had me laughing whole heartedly from the moment I sat down. The clowns knew what they were doing, and were fully aware of the audience, consistently, from start to finish. Most important, i felt that my presence was necessary, I felt involved. I don't ever get to see shows like this, and it was a true pleasure. Five out of five stars, two thumbs up, A+! Thank you four clowns for an evening of fun. I can't wait to see your future shows and honestly I dream of being a part of honest comedy such as your work, one day. If you are wondering about which show to see, don't be an idiot, see The Halfwit's Last Hurrah! It'll be the best decision you've made in a long...

What a great show packed full of slapstick fun! The cast provides a variety of talents that are interrupted by pure hilarity. The Lillian Theatre is the perfect venue that provides a great atmosphere for this extremely talented cast that will not disappoint you with the Halfwits' Last Hurrah!...

Saw this show last week. Super hilarious! I loved every second of it. I was not expecting it to end the way it did, but it made me realize that this show wasn't just trying to make me laugh, but actually make me feel something. I ended up feeling for the characters. Especially Nimrod. She was superb...
