KC Fringe "Jesus, Shakespeare, and Lincoln" review by sairen42

Almost funny, but
Rating: 2

Jesus, Shakespeare, and Lincoln Walk into a Bar
KC Fringe Festival

but unfortunately, too much got in the way of its humor.  The actors delivered their lines with little energy, and the lines were poorly enunciated. Lincoln was written as an over-the-top gay caricature - one, I might add, that is dated enough it made me as uncomfortable as if he'd come on in black face.
There were certainly funny moments, but they seemed to be milked for twice as long as they should have been worth: Double entendres played twice, karaoke one verse too long...

At the end of the show, it made me smile, it made me laugh, but I wanted most of my money back.
