TREVOR RIGBY certified reviewer June 15, 2015
Really enjoyed this. I was laughing from start to finish. All the characters were well done, and some were quite adorable. Mr. Butterbeans did an especially good job playing off the crowd. It's shows like this that are the reason why live performance is superior to movies and TV. Great job, all!... full review

Wacky, weird, fun and surprising! An amazing amount of laughs packed into one short hour. The cast is fun and fearless. You'll have a blast with Butterbeans, his cast of oddballs, and his hiss-inducing nemesis. Check it out!... full review

This is a brilliant evening of Theatre. I don't know if I had enough energy to keep from laughing. Stand out ensemble work, with a touch of improv that keeps everyone on their toes. Of the front runners for best show this one has a chance at pulling off nicely. Knows when to pull back and push forward at the same time. In a category by itself. Though I prefer the company when it wanders into the more abstract and political, this show is a brilliant example of it's form. The humor is something you can not capture on video because it is a true example of the live experience. Felt privileged to be a part of the audience. Wish I had a program in front of me to give individual credits, but truly a good example of a group working ... full review

The Halfwits' Last Hoorah is a comedic heartfelt performance. Going to the midnight adult show really allowed for the craziness of clown comedy to come alive. It was an interesting new experience for me to watch this kind of performance having no exposure to this type of comedy. The audience interaction was fun and light heartheartedly naughty. Although some parts of the performance felt too audience dependence, but they made it flow enough not to ruin the performance. The simplistic set tied into drawing in the audience to believing the show was put on by Halfwits, or to put it more simply, morons. The character arc of each character was simple and created many emotions throughout the performance. Overall it was a great show, I had some lau... full review

The last Four Clowns' show that I had seen was "Ubu the Sh*t." After seeing that show and watching the work that was put on stage by this company I had to watch "Halfwits' Last Hurrah." The reason I had to watch it is because I knew for a fact that I would be seeing something that make me laugh, cry, and overall be inspired. That's the type of work that this company puts out in their shows, and I can say with the utmost confidence that they are consistent at doing so. Each character brought something unique to the stage that succeeded in keeping the audience engaged the entire time. I had such an amazing time watching these talented people do what they love. This show is something you do not want to miss! ... full review
