Review: The Toronto Star

Jihad Me at Hello
What can you say about a show that opens with a balding Adolf Hitler impersonator, sitting stock still and resolutely expressionless on stage for 10 solid minutes as the audience files in?
It tells you that this odd trio out of Calgary calling themselves Obscene But Not Heard has an even odder sense of humour and no shortage of comic edge.
The opening sketch, involving a radio that plays nothing but the Macarena, gossip magazines full of Paris Hilton articles and the aforementioned Führer, has a punchline too good to spoil and is worth the price of admission alone.
As for the rest, it’s a mixed bag of highs – a spoof of actor Christopher Walken, the Inappropriate Weather Forecast – and lows – a Circus of Pain featuring an armless juggler and a clown barfing blood.
Funny, offensive, gut-wrenching and not easily forgettable.
