A First-Class Comedic Revue… Featuring the Reanimated Corpse of a Wright Brother

The comedy delivered

The alleged crew delivered like they always do. I’m always impressed with the ideas they come up with

So much fun!

An alleged theatre company does it again! Witty, off-the-wall humor that makes me laugh until my sides hurt. I loved the absurd characters and dialogue. Highly recommend!

Classic alleged!

Another hilarious play by alleged! Loved Danilo as Orville and strong performances all around. I wish there had been more Orville-isms, it felt like he could've been replaced by any fish out of water. There's plenty of comedic material to plumb in the early 20th century, but it feels like the creators didn't do any research

Taking Flight

Very funny show with good crowd work. Character played by Jake Mierva comes in to steal the show. Cringy, comedic and thought provoking all wrapped into one package.

Campy fun

Always interesting to be able to catch a troupe doing what they love. Silly & fun.

THIS is what Fringe is about

In the annals of my Audience Member history, this will go down as one of the Fringiest, funniest and most bizarre things I've seen. I loved everything about this show.

Just fun!

No notes, no spoilers, just go have a good time

Delightfully absurd and Fringey

This one made me laugh. A lot. Enough that I was glad I had an inhaler in my purse! I particularly liked Danylo Loutchko's deadpan, spot-on portrayal of Orville. The nerd in me would have liked a few more obscure or weird historical references, but even without that, I really enjoyed this show!

A great show!

I got the chance to drop in on this set. The cast all had tight performances with good timing and delivery which allowed their well-written jokes to pop. They led with a out of the box idea and managed to lean into the whimsy and bewildering concept without it ever feeling too contrived. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance and am excited to see what else the group can bring!

A Smile from Beginning to End

This show is exactly what you expect but also not at the same time. I laughed from beginning to end, and in between my laughing I was charmed by the characters and intrigued by the plot, keeping my attention through out the entire show. It’s extremely unique and if you weren’t already planning on going I highly suggest you do.

Crying tears, peeing pants

Literally felt like I was being tickled by the jokes. I couldn't stop laughing. I literally started to cry. I was wheezing and couldn't breathe. My partner and I were equally cringing, bursting out laughing, gripping each others' arms, holding our sides from how much it hurt. I would see this show again and again. Also Amy Acorn, such a dislikable character, also super funny. Her stage fright/stand up bit was the best thing I have ever seen in my life. This show is worth every kitty. And if you choose to see it, which you should, don't tell Elmer.

Fringey In All The Best Ways!

What a delight! I knew nothing about these performers or the show. So funny, so weird! I could have listened to a whole show of Orville talking about the levels of the land of the piggies. Great show.

Shenanigans

Hella awkward show in all the best ways. Very talented team at Alleged who mesh together incredibly well! Had the whole crowd rolling!

Elmer made the Wright Choice

Hilarious from start to finish. The failing comedy show on display was made even funnier by Chester’s grounded character pointing out the absurdity of it all and Amy’s pure commitment to “proving” she’s not a Nepo baby. With a dash of improv and the always expected touch of audience participation, I’m never disappointed by an Alleged production!

I love this company!

I am a big fan of this company, ever since I saw their first Fringe show several years ago. I know comedy can be so subjective, but this one just didn't land for me as their previous shows have. The concept was appealing (reanimated corpses never get old), but I think it could have been developed more. Still, I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

my stomach hurts!

I honestly can’t remember the last time i laughed this hard at a show! I shrieked, I kicked my little feet around, I couldn’t stop! Definitely catch this show if you’re able to. Never disappointed by Alleged.

Hilarious

One of the funny shows I've seen

So freaking funny.

I had a smile on my face the entire show. The performances were full of energy and the jokes were punchy.

Silliness

How long can a silly romp with a dead guy last!? Just long enough! Enjoy!

Allegedly hilarious!

Alleged pushes the boundaries of comedy and performance in this zany, unpredictable, extremely entertaining comedy revue. With the right combination of high-concept and genuine heart, as well as memorable, pitch-perfect performances, it's an easy show to love!

Plane Ole Fun

Quirky and genuinely funny with a touch of heart.

Hilarious

The crazy high energy off the wall humor had me laughing the whole show - loved it!

I can't believe necromancy is real

This show is incredibly funny and they even proved the theory of necromancy! Bringing this wright brother back from the dead must've been no easy feat but I appreciate the hard work this crew has put in to make this such a hilarious show. Definitely a must se if you enjoy dark magic and comedy!

My review of the revue

Listen alleged doesn't miss. I loved watching Danylo rub sunscreen on himself last year and this year I watched him get spun on a chair too fast as Orville wright and fall off and I can't stop laughing. Jake's necromancer was just pure delight. You never know what's coming next and that's just how I like it!

Comedic absurdity

Great show. The team at Alleged theater company did it again. They delivered a non Orthodox show that delivered laughs, confusion, and awkwardness. 💜

Welcome Back Orville Wright!

Alleged did it again. Left the show thinking about hell...and how much my stomach hurt from laughing. Genuinely one of the funniest shows i've seen, but what Alleged show isn't. This company has never failed to create the most unique, interesting, and HILARIOUS shows you will ever see. An absolute must see!!!

Crazy funny

An absolutely wild ride. So much fun, I was laughing the whole time. Definitely not what I was expecting but it surpassed my expectations. This one is a must see!

The Best Parts of Improv, plus some Hell

Orville has every right to be the featured part of this show, since he's gone through so much as it is. Here's hoping for several more painless reincarnations and Celciuses to come.

Another (alleged) great show!

I've become a huge fan of this theater company, and this show does not disappoint! The 'brothers' skit had me laughing line after line

Who knew a dead guy could be such fun!

Laugh out loud funny from start to finish!! Ludicrous, painful, honest, unexpectedly touching, and absolutely hilarious!! Don’t miss this one!!

The Dark Wright Rises

An enjoyable comedy first show with great performances from all the actors! Strong personalities on stage are always a treat

another winner

The mix of improv, sketch, and orville wright’s charming bewilderment with the modern era makes for a fun show - another great Alleged production!

Holding up mirror to Comedy

Imagine you and Comedy are looking into a mirror. What do you see? What does Comedy see? Well? What does it see? WHAT DOES IT SEE? GOOD GOD WHAT DOES IT SEE??

Super show!

Loved this show, it was very funny and unexpected. I definitely recommend it!

A transcendant, yet grounded masterpiece!

I have never found myself disappointed in an Alleged Theatre production. This one is no different--a must see for fans of the various levels of hell and their piggy inhabitants!

Creative, unique, and hilarious

What a show! Funny portrayal of an improv show that needed to get creative for their audience. Bringing Mr. Wright in certainly brought that spark. One of the highlights was Elmer the necromancer: an unforgettable character - impossible not to laugh at!

A Stand Up Show!

A delightful show with all of your favorite formes of comedy!

Funniest dead guy I've seen all week.

I talked with the cast after the show and they could have been mean to me but weren't.

I laughed, I cried ...

... I liked it so much, I reanimated my very own Wright brother! Alleged excels at putting on shows within shows that are filled with surrealism and absurdity. It's not absurd for the sake of being absurd, though. They do something with it. Their brand of surrealism and absurdity snuggle up cozily right next to plain -- and at times, harsh -- reality. There's room for all of it on their stage. Sometimes, the message and emotion of the moment hits you over the head. Other times, it's more subtle and requires some reflection and introspection. Regardless, I love it. Go see this show. They'll take you on a fun ride. They always do.

Five Kitty Hawks!

With so many Improv groups in the Twin Cities scene it can be difficult for newcomers to breakthrough, but Amy Acorn and Chester Chester have an innovative new form involving resurrecting the dead body of a great American Inventor. As a Fringe reviewer I love Improv and greatly enjoyed this makeshift comedic trio blossom before our eyes. As for Orville Wright, let’s just say he’s on a journey even greater than the one he took with his brother on December 17th 1903…

9 Levels Of Comedy

Truly a first class example of what makes an alleged theatre a must-see both during and outside of Fringe. They are able to ground an absurd premise and blend reality and surreality into a tight and riotous hour. Halverson and Godwin inhabit their roles and play off each other and the understated but brilliant Loutchko beautifully. And you can’t miss Mierva in an excellent and high energy cameo. I cannot recommend this show and company enough.

Come for the comedy, stay for the clean up.

This show made me laugh, cringe, and reflect on why I did either. Not only does it look at what comedy is, what it takes to make a "good" show, but also asks questions of morality and the ethics of gimmicks (or resurrecting someone from the dead ). Improv, sketch, stand up, this show has a something for everyone. Plus, the performers are so committed, and the show so meta, that half of the audience stayed just to watch them clean up. Great show, definitely one you won't want to miss!!

Sky-high comedic revue!

an alleged A-Team brings their strengths to shine in a power house hour of wacky, gripping, death-defying comedy. This creative team is brimming with chemistry and expertly animates the story to life with immediacy, heart, and SO much fun!

So funny n meta, Charlie Chaplin lookin’ dead guy

This has got to be one of the funniest, strangest, most meta ironic shows I’ve ever seen EVER. Orville’s character and the situation the show sets up had me laughing so hard from open to close. The wit behind the writing and all out acting was perfectly placed, like chess pieces. I also LOVED to see Danylo lookin like a Charlie Chaplin muthafucka, his eyes darting around under his hat will live in my mind until I die.
