What I liked

At the end of the day, this show is highly impressive and highly funny.

What I didn't like

There were some moments where the music and stage transitions could have been improved as far as smooth execution goes, but that’s to be expected when the total cast and crew for such an elaborate/ambitious performance is so small. It took away very little from (at least my) personal experience.

My overall impression

TL;DR – (9.5/10) This is probably the funniest act I’ve seen in a while, and certainly the most unique stage act I’ve ever seen.

I came into the show having seen the Human Fountains on AGT, and was a bit worried that I was walking into a 60 minute extension of that. From the opening scene it is clear that isn’t the case. The humor is profoundly absurd, the acting is excellent, and, while the show is built up of sketches that can certainly stand on their own, the Human Fountains clearly put a great deal of thought into the arrangement of the performance, the result of which is a whole that is much greater than the sum of its parts.
