Revel in the badness that is Martini and Olive. This tragically unhip '70s comedy lounge duo performs a cheesy variety show complete with gloriously silly dance numbers, wildly wrong costumes, fun medleys of '70s hits and more. Cavorting in blindingly tacky polyester costumes, these two have had audiences across the country roaring with laughter as they bring the fad-filled era back to life in the worst possible way!

World of Theater Explored in The Fool and the Red Queen

Full Price:
$25.00
Our Price:
$12.50

In the latest comic meditation from renowned playwright Murray Mednick, The Fool and the Red Queen experiments with archetypes to explore human nature and the processes of theater. A struggling actor named Gary finds himself at a nightmarish audition where the audience discovers the magical ability of the theater to create new realities -- in this case, a darkly funny and improvised play-within-a-play similar to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Marie and Bruce. Driven by poetic impulse rather than linear storytelling, The Fool and the Red Queen is a ruefully funny, lyrical look at the theater and the natural elements that drive us all. Learn More

Description

Starring Judy Heneghan and Michael Halpin
With Peter Staloch and the Swizzle Stick Dancers

Experience Martini and Olive’s whistlestop medleys of hit 1970s pop songs, played out by two characters in costumes that should be considered crimes against humanity and backed up by a trio of middle-aged tap dancers whose credo is “overmedicated and ready to rock.”

See what the St. Paul Pioneer Press called “such deliciously, marvelously, intentionally appalling stuff that you’ll find yourself alternately holding your head in your hands and wiping tears of laughter out of your eyes. Shaken or stirred, Martini & Olive are a heck of a cocktail. These people know how to make us laugh. First time I saw them… I laughed so hard I also gave myself a hernia.”
