Oh, where to begin! Satire has found its rebel yell at the Hollywood Fringe this year with Easy Targets at Sacred Fools.
Ever have a fantasy of taking out an actor during the most brain-freeze, boring monologue you’ve ever heard? What about the offensive ass directing a tantrum about his latest shoulder chip at you? The Hollywood star whose affected non-trauma is more traumatic than yours? Or even better, what if you could finally face off with your local representative who’s been hiding out and not attending his own town halls? What if you could finally just sock it to ’em!
R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Find out what it means to me, bro’!
Easy Targets is for every audience member who has sat in the dark at a bad play thinking they now know what prison must be like, except you can now act out the fantasy of punishing your jailer.
The most fun you will have at Fringe this year! Hugo Armstrong, Albert Dayan, Jon Beauregard, and Scott Golden, cross every possible line of stupidity, racial discrimination, insensitivity and political disgust in 4 truly outrageous America First inspired shorts. So creatively absurd is the comedy and so galvanizing is the writing, directing and performances (in collaboration with the Burglars of Hamm), you may be in jeopardy of spending an entire pay day check on socks! (Which FYI are sold in between each short).
Brilliant!
Highly Recommended!
