Then look no further than the miracle cure we have for you. Two brothers performing sketch comedy: it will make you laugh, make you cry, put a pep in your step and some fuel in your mule. We guarantee to cure baldness, myopia and night terrors*. Don’t believe us? Well, listen to these real life testimonies: “This show cured my brain disease!” Abraham. “These sketches made me grow 12 inches!” Maude. “My children love me again…” Amos. *Exceptions apply Written and performed by Josh Burton (Impromptunes, The Completely Improvised Musical) and Tom Burton (It’s Talkie Time With Jackie Lime).
