Directed by Kirk Hanley, Mere Fluff features Robyn Scott & Bill Larkin in a sketch comedy show that blends original scenes and songs to comment on the idea of celebrity. This full-on programme also features puppetry, performance art and more!
The Chicago Tribune says, "Somewhere, George Burns and Gracie Allen are in stitches. [The material] dissects celebrity in so many ways, sometimes in smart, precise, poignant stings, other times in broad swings that border on the ridiculous. Larkin...with his elastic smile, completely disappears into his roles. Scott...is a constant ball of energy. [They are] hilarious individually...but they work best as a pair. They have wonderful chemistry." Read the review! (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=352836218&blogID=381448961)
The Chicago Reader says, "Veteran actor-comedians Robyn Scott and Bill Larkin perform a smorgasbord of characters in this sketch revue, getting laughs from satire, impersonations, puppetry, mime, improv, and musical numbers. The ballsy Larkin's hilarious at the keyboard... Highly Recommended!" Read the review! (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=352836218&blogID=376892124)
Centerstage Chicago says, "Punchy, quick-witted and smart. After the initial skit establishing theme and tone, things just get funnier. [Mere Fluff] will leave you doubled over, laughing and, eventually, crying. Editor's Pick!" Read the review!

The Real Chicago says, "it reminded me of the mid-90's Canadian sketch comedy series 'Kids in the Hall.'"
Time Out Chicago says, "Stand-out points: a beautifully acted scene in which Scott leaves voice mails for her drug-addicted daughter and…a Gilbert Gottfried impression (never thought we'd ever say that)."
