Bailey & Madison

I can’t for the life of me understand why this act is considered good and why they are getting a good salary. The early part of their act in which they attempt comedy is absolutely dead. Everything that they do has been copied from other people and they haven’t an original idea in the whole act excepting the finish when the third man comes on as a double. Never play them here again. 10 min, full stage, 2 shows.
