The duo's adorable mannerisms are as important as their inner toxicity, which soon comes spilling out. This is a love letter to a certain stereotype, but it's an acidic one, eager to mock its sublimated biases.

Its sense of humor is deeply specific and heavily referential... it's also proof that a specific perspective and an alienated audience don't necessarily go hand in hand.

Kroll and Mulaney elevate their show to something more than just mocking old people by refusing to adhere to a traditional format and letting things play out like an overly-long SNL sketch instead.

This production is alt comedy at its finest, as John Mulaney and Nick Kroll indulge in each other's improv, skewer every Broadway trope imaginable, and relish every opportunity to make the audience (or each other) uncomfortable.
