24 min. Open one, close F.S. “Fighting the Flames.” This is certainly one screamingly funny comedy. From the minute O’Brien entered (to good advance applause) right up to the ludicrous finish, there is something ridiculously funny every second of the time. O’Brien has got the darky character down as fine as Dockstader himself, and his material crammed full of happy turns and particularly witty surprises. Roars of laughter and at time the show is actually syopped [sic] for a moment. Smashing big finish.
