Lost In Circulation: A Comedy About Getting Your Money Back
Exit Theater
San Francisco, CA
****CLOSING NIGHT SHOW (8/13) will have tickets available at the door...c'mon down to the EXIT tonight!****
Nationally acclaimed comedy team Uphill Both Ways is back with a mind-blowing new two-man play. LOST IN CIRCULATION: A COMEDY ABOUT GETTING YOUR MONEY BACK follows the story of a rare, misprinted dollar bill from the 1930's that accidentally enters circulation in 2011. When everyman Marvin (Dave McKew) inherits the mysterious, priceless dollar (depicting George Washington Carver instead of George Washington) from his dying father (Colin Benoit), he is curious about learning more about who created it, and why. But before he can learn the dollar's secret origin, he accidentally loses it. Will eccentric collector of curiosities Buck Huntington III (Dave McKew) find it before Marvin can locate his family's heirloom? Follow the dollar's journey across all four continental U.S. time zones, as it changes hands over and over again. Antics ensue as the dollar-hunting Marvin and Huntington encounter a god-fearing churchgoer (Colin Benoit) who donates the dollar, a precocious girl scout (Colin Benoit) who earns the dollar at her lemonade stand, a flamboyant magician (Colin Benoit) who's ready to burn the dollar as part of his biggest show ever...and many others.
LOST IN CIRCULATION: A COMEDY ABOUT GETTING YOUR MONEY BACK features the comic writing and acting talents of seasoned sketch comedy vets Colin Benoit and Dave McKew who playover 25characters in this ambitious new show.
Uphill Both Ways has been Voted "Best Comedy Act" in SF Weekly's "Best of San Francisco" Readers' Poll. NYC's Uproar Magazine calls Uphill Both Ways "obscenely witty." SF Downtown Magazine says "...reminiscent of such cult troupes as The Kids in the Hall and The Upright Citizens Brigade and such classics as Jackie Gleason and Ralph Kramden as best friends in the Honeymooners TV series...an endearing, energetic, and downright ridiculous pair who emit a decidedly charismatic aura." The Bay Guardian calls them "funny guys with tremendous energy."
Since 2002, Uphill Both Ways has performed in over a dozen Bay Area venues and at numerous international comedy festivals in NYC, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington DC, Dallas, Atlanta, Vancouver and Toronto. Their short films have appeared on TV on Comedy Central and The Hotel Networks and at various short film festivals around the U.S. and Canada.

This show was flat out hysterical. I really enjoy the way Colin and Dave keep a running commentary with the audience. Their breaking of the fourth wall never seems gratuitous, rather it comes off as conspiratorial, making the audience feel like they are party to the chaos.
I can't wait to see more from these two! |
