This comedic acrobat act is eleven minutes long.
Corelli is the straight acrobat. Gillette is an excellent monologist who is also an acrobat. The talk becomes a larger part of the act than the actual acrobatics, but it is full of laughs.
The audience laughed from beginning to end.
Gillette is very funny for an acrobat and handles his jokes like an "English comedian." Corelli should drop the Spanish bit. The title of the act, "Watch the Hats", will not do on the billing. A better title would be "The Patter-Twisters".
