About this show
Believing themselves to be revolutionary leaders, two overconfident artists attempt to liberate the masses through the power of theatre. Ethan & Gigi are here to upstage fascist pigs and break legs (literally). The revolution will not be televised, it will be live! Alt-comedian legend Chris Gethard says: 'These kids are funny, brave, some of the hardest workers I've ever met and also might be legitimately unwell in a mental sense. Either way, huge fan. Restores my faith and makes me believe in the connective power of comedy.'

This absurd, bemusing, but ultimately pretty funny adventure was clearly the work of actors with both a passion for rebellion, and real uncertainty about what revolutionary life entails.
— Scottish Left Review (4 out of 5 stars)
Genuinely, the Hamilton-does-9/11 routine might be the single funniest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s partly the quality of the rap, which is even better at being stilted doggrel than Lin Manuel Miranda’s hit nonsense.
