The show consists of several different numbers and an intro section, in which we learn about how the group came together and one of their first projects, Othello: The Remix, which they preformed at numerous places including Edinburgh Fringe and Shakespeare's Globe. The songs for this show were recorded in the Ritz Theater, in homes, and on the streets (videography by Lucas Wells), creating a varied look for the show. Topics covered include what jokes are too soon, being old, and Minnesota's slippery winter sidewalks. It's all very fast and funny and clever, and the half-hour show flies by way too quickly.
