Nothing short of genius

By Kathleen Oliver

There‚s not a single predictable moment in this 90-minute program of some of the most original, inventive, and virtuosic sketch comedy I've ever seen.

The Cody Rivers Show‚s Mike Mathieu and Andrew Connor display wicked imaginations, superlative timing, and breathtaking physical skill in these supremely weird sketches.

Each is a world unto itself, touching on everything from cloned superheroes to difficult people. They dance, recite poetry, play percussion, speak French, and constantly exploit the tension between stillness and frenzy so that we
never know what's going to happen next but when it does, it‚s always funny. Nothing short of genius.
