'Rotten Bros. Sideshow' -- Produced by the Village Idiots
By Dean Johnson Orlando Sentinel "Well, it isn't rotten, and it isn't really a sideshow either (if you think of same as a collection of pinheads, bearded ladies and monkey boys). But Will and Wally Rotten create a divertissement that makes you chuckle one moment and makes you want to hurl another. Good times. Oh, it isn't that gross -- unless Wally jumping up and down on ground glass might make you cringe (he's barefoot, of course) or unless Will's putting a long nail up his nose might turn you green. You also get your sword-swallowing, the old hatpin through the arm and a wonderful display of knife juggling. There are flubs now and then, but I suspect they're intentional because so much comedy evolves from them. The show ends with what is called an "aftercatch" -- the boys offer a look at a two-headed baby for an extra buck. Will you take the bait? http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/enterta......tml#more |

"A divertissement"? Ooo, that's much classier than we should be allowed to be.

I had to look the word up. It meant exactly what I thought it meant but there were three definitions. I chose the best one.

The best is nothing you don't deserve. I've seen you work.

I'm videoing the show tonight but it will be a while till I get to work with the footage. I can't wait to show you what I came up with. I'm very proud of it. It's my first all new routine in many many moons and I'm in love with it. It is a work in progress but it will polish nicely over the years.
