GHR, 2 shows, 20 mins. in one. Two men, Matthews does the straight work, while Ashley formerly of Ashely and Wooley, does the jew character. His Hebrew impersonations are very clever. They do a lot of burlesque acting with the imaginary third person. On their finish Matthews sings the song “The Man Behind”, while his partner signs a parody to fit, which causes no end of amusement for the audience. Very good.
