Mr. Marshmallow is here to solve major problems for the kids! What’s a major issue like the Iran War or AI? An audience member says “Epstein!” Epstein! He takes a deep breath and then lets out a huge nervous laugh. Ok, here we go! It’s like Santa’s list, but everyone is naughty! Ok, I got it, Let’s put them all in jail, or, I don’t know, kill them all! I’m just an actor! Why am I trying to solve all these major issues? 

In another scene, a man introduces himself as the future of AI Comedy. He asks a lady sitting in the front row, what would you like to see? After a very long pause, she finally says “cookies”. They do a skit where a man has 8 fingers. Ok, can you please refine this? After another long pause, she says, “chocolate chip” and the audience cracks up. They do another skit and then come back one last time for a further refinement. She says “Marshmallows” which leads to the return of the Mr. Marshmallow costume! 

Bill Letz (This Too Shall Slap) is outstanding as Mr. Marshmallow reacting to the audience’s suggestion of Epstein. Eddie Mujica (Soul Brother Where Art Thou?) is so funny as the AI Chatbot patiently waiting for the audience member to respond: “Take your time, we have all night”. Preston Parker (The Best of Second City) is superb all night, especially with his guitar playing skills. Cat McDonnell is great in the “You Should Be Dancing” skit. Zoe McKee (The Best of Second City) is joyful and fun, especially during “In The Air Tonight” skit. Lastly, Yazmin Ramos (What the Elf?) is solid in her many roles. 

Overall, this show is full of non-stop laughs. Do not miss this one!
