Think you know how to act like a real New Yorker? Fuggedaboutit!

Comedians -- and licensed New York City tour guides -- Margaret Copeland and Kevin James Doyle take you on a whirlwind comedic odyssey filled with stories about New York City, from the world's largest landfill in Staten Island to the home of the Bronx Bombers.

Written on Jul 05 2012Went with a group of girlfriends. All thought it was cute and humourous. We did have a hard time hearing quiet a few of the lines. People had to ask several times to speak up. Loved Paco!
Written on Jul 03 2012Supremely silly fun - a great way to spend 75 minutes of your evening. Lots of audience participation opportunities for the extroverts (nothing embarrassing). Especially fun for groups.
Written on Jul 02 2012It's cute, corny and fun. Having a few fun people in the audience made the show better. It's a fun time.
Written on Jul 02 2012My husband and I had an amazing time. We walk in and had a front row table. The show was funny and interesting. Paco was very very funny. I would definitely recommend this show. The only problem we encounter was the theater was extremely warm. We ask for the AC to be turned up and no one turned it up.
Written on Jul 02 2012Although I knew where Sofia's was located, the entrance to the venue was not readily apparent. The air conditioning was lacking and the seating uncomfortable. Thankfully, as I too was having difficulty hearing but lack the nerve, audience members shouted out for the performers to speak up a few times.
The cast members were engaging and the show was witty, but I would have been greatly disappointed had I paid full price.
Written on Jun 25 2012It was funny and Paco made the show! Loved it!
Written on Jun 25 2012Awful. Not Funny. Not interesting. I don't know how this even made it to a stage. It was only 78 minutes long yet it took everything in me to keep from getting up and leaving.
Written on Jun 11 2012IT WAS A REALLY FUNNY SHOW...A BIT OUTDATED BUT FUNNY.
Written on Jun 11 2012Loved it. I had a great time. Thank you.
Written on Jun 11 2012Awful, I walked out.
Written on Jun 11 2012Greatttt Show
Written on Jun 07 2012i went with my gf, i believed she enjoyed it more than i did, i felt the the things mentioned are irrelevant to our modern day and age, and even though it was sort of funny, the energy channeled to the audience was not fully there
Written on Jun 04 2012The show was rather cute. Give credit to the actors for engaging audience members to come up on stage and actually make funny contributions to the show. Well worth the price of admission.
Written on Jun 04 2012A bit flimsy..Paco was good
Written on Oct 10 2011I have never, ever written a review of anything. But I have to for this. It was so bad we walked out in the middle. I felt awful for doing it, as there were so few people even in the audience. But it was just not funny at all, and some drunk people behind us made it even more unbearable. Such a disappointment.
Written on Aug 01 2011Very, very funny show. All of Abigail's guidance still holds true today. My boyfriend loved it too! Great show for girl's night or date night.
Written on Jul 08 2011AMAZING!!!!! The whole night was amazing!!!!
Written on Jun 17 2011Joyce Dewitt looked amazing and it was a really fun show. We had awsome seats in the front row their was audience participation and tons of laughs. It is definately work going to.
Written on May 16 2011It was ok, not super funny nor insightful. I guess if I had to do it again, I wouldn't, rather do something else.
Written on May 16 2011I wouldn't say it was great but it was cute and light and the price was right. They have audience participation although you don't have to participate if you don't want to.
Written on May 02 2011Boring not funny
Written on Apr 05 2011My husband and I took a couple visiting the city to this play. At first I was a little nervous the the guys would not enjoy the play, but in the end they admitted that they did enjoy it. The play was good, but not great. There was some opportunity in the writing. I'm glad we paid the Goldstar price vs. full price.
Written on Mar 21 2011This was cute. My girlfriend was more excited to be in the same audience as her childhood idol (The Brady Bunch's character Jan).
Written on Mar 07 2011Eve Plumb did a great job as did her sidekick Paco. It's cute, fun and interactive (to some extent). There was a lot of laughter from the audience. I would recommend (and have recommended it) going to see it to my friends & family.
The seating was fine as was the venue (as it's off-broadway)
Written on Feb 23 2011Fun show. Worth the discount ticket price.
Written on Feb 22 2011Had a good time. It's not 'Avenue Q' funny, but it is funny. The actors did a great job and seemed to be having fun.
Written on Feb 22 2011Great show! We had a lot of fun.
Written on Feb 21 2011made a bet with my gf that if we went to this i wouldnt laugh and if i didnt i never had to see a play show again with her i was doing good until they pulled that dude on stage pretty funny stuff. so, thanks but no thanks now i have to see shows. but it was good
Written on Feb 21 2011Had a great time. My friend suggested we go (she saw it before with a different Paco). I thought the show was really fun and she enjoyed it the second time, though she said it was a different take on Paco, it was just as good. Hope this helps some others!
Written on Feb 18 2011I almost didn't go to this because of some of the more negative reviews but I'm so glad that I did!
It was a fun girls night out away from the husband and kids, and the price is definitely worth the laughs we got (especially while one of our own was up on stage... what a riot!) There are lots of little hand outs to remind you how to be a good 'dater/mater/marrier'.
Really cute! I recommend it!
Written on Feb 18 2011Funny.
Written on Feb 16 2011goldstar is such a great find. my lady friend and i had a great time at this show we definitely recommend it. i grew up having a crush on eve and shes still worth having a crush on. meeow.
Written on Feb 15 2011I had a great time. Dont expect to get too much real dating advice (thats what I expected) but DO expect to have a really great time!
Eve was very nice after the show and we got a picture together. Paco (I forget his name!) was nice too.
Overall, worth the discounted tickets!
-SALLY
Written on Feb 06 2011Had a really FANTASTIC time! Totally enjoyed the entire show, icluding seeing the actors picking "volunteers" out of the crowd and including them in on the act. LOL Was totally thrilled to see Eve Plumb and "Paco" is such a HOTTIE!! LOL
Written on Jan 31 2011Saw the Saturday matinee of this and have to say it was really fun! I didn't quite know what to expect, but as soon as I saw that girl dancing 'La Bamba' with Paco I settled into my seat for an enjoyable time. Lots of audience interaction and 'prizes'
Written on Jan 31 2011Had a blast! Cute space and great (fun) acting jobs!
Written on Jan 29 2011This was absolutely fun! Would be a great event to go to pre-stagette.
Written on Jan 28 2011My husband and I had a blast at this show last night! It's a fun little show especially for those who have been married for awhile. Both "Paco" and "Miss Abigail" were great and were so nice after the show. Plus, they've got a bar and you can drink in your seats (what could be better?)
Written on Jan 27 2011It was cute, audience ineractivity helped since there were big holes in the script, that might have been funny but missed. Short show, tight quarters, and finding the real entrance door is a pain in the butt. GO INTO THE LOBBY AND TURN AN IMMEDIATE RIGHT AND DOWN THE STAIRS.....NOT THE POSTER DOOR! Eve was good as was the character "Paco". It's not art, but it is entertaining.
Written on Jan 27 2011It's a fun time at a discounted price. The male lead is very entertaining.
Written on Jan 26 2011Thankfully these tickets were free- we only paid the processing fee of $8 per ticket. Since it is cheaper than a NYC movie, it was a good deal.
The show was fine but nothing worth seeing. Eve Plumb was a bit condescending. It is easy to see why her career peaked at Jan Brady.
The play itself is a one joke script. Not a bad joke, but not good enough to sustain an entire play.
Not worth money - but go it if is free on Goldstar!
Written on Jan 26 2011The material was cute, especially for the Boomer generation. More fun than the material was the subplot between Miss Abigail and her assistant, Paco. He (and some of the audience participation)was the best thing about the show.
It's a short play - maybe an hour and 10 minutes. Do not pay full price - even half might be too much.
Written on Jan 25 2011this was fun...for the price. I would not pay full price for this, so the value was certainly worth it. The show is funny. The actors are ok. They seem to lack a true stage energy, but overall I would say it's a fun night out.
Written on Jan 25 2011My husband and I enjoyed this show. We did have a great audience for the audience participation which helped make it even funnier than just the script. Miss Abigail and Paco did a good job.
Written on Jan 24 2011The show was ok, but very funny. The actors did a good job.
Written on Jan 20 2011The show was fun to a point. The actors did ok for the material they were working with. It was like a TV comedy. The seats could have been a little more comfortable.
Written on Jan 18 2011Funny and enjoyable - Eve did a good job with lines she was given - not the best script but she made it work. And her side kick Paco was a hottie - who wouldn't mind spending some time in the back with him.
Written on Jan 18 2011Terrible! I left early. Nothing about this show was funny - very trite and hackey. Disappointing. I am so glad my tickets were free because if I had paid for this show, I would have demanded a refund.
Written on Jan 17 2011Thought it was cute and fun - I would definitely recommend it for the Baby Boom generation :)
Written on Jan 14 2011It was a step up from going to a comedy club. Eve was funny and her sidekick Paco delivered his lines well. They had good rapport and delivery. The tickets were comped, so it definitely was not a waste of our time to see the show, because it was enjoyable, but I don't think I would tell anyone to pay full price for the show.
Written on Jan 14 2011The show was okay and sort of funny, but our seats were so bad (Row C right side) that we couldn't see the show. After about 20 minutes 2 people left and we took their seats and could see the actors.
Written on Jan 13 2011The free ticket deal from Goldstar was wonderful but if I had paid for this show I would have been very upset. It wasn't very funny, the gags and bits were outdated and the audience was very small and unengaged. The acting was fine, but the material was very so so.
Written on Jan 13 2011I would have left within 10 minutes if possible without disruption. The acting is horrible, the script is forced, the chemistry isn't there. The jokes aren't - jokes. I felt like I was at a 9th grade play (written, produced, acted). I honestly would tell people who have tickets to spend the hour in a coffeeshop watching people: time better spent.
Written on Jan 10 2011It is below a restaurant, so a bit crowded and not much space for coats and bags. It is a relaxed, cash bar, casual and interactive atmosphere. It is a two man show (Abigail and Paco), funny, light, and time goes by fast. Definitely the crowd makes it a good/great or mediocre show. My crowd was really into it, so we laughed out loud a bunch!
Written on Dec 20 2010I was a little bit to see a one-man show on this topic but it was not a one-man show and the guy brings a lot to the show.
It is funny and interactive. You don't see the time flight.
Written on Dec 13 2010Maybe Sunday afternoon isn't the best time to see this show. Paco was amusing and the only reason it's not a one star but overall it was terrible. I didn't expect much, it is Jan Brady after all, but I got even less than I expected. The "jokes" were tired, the delivery was slow...I could go on but I won't. Even at half price we paid too much. We went as a last minute filler instead of fighting the rain and shopping crowds. If you have the choice pick the rain.
Written on Nov 23 2010A fun evening- lots of audience participation-great for couples-Eve Plumb is wonderful!
