(TORONTO) All good things in life come in twos…just ask 2-Man No-Show.
2-Man No-Show returns this summer to the Toronto Fringe Festival to debut the exciting sequel to their award winning first show.

Combining percussion, character/sketch comedy, physical theatre and performance art, they tell the story of two underdogs reaching beyond the unimaginable. Kessler and Hall play together with a fraternal chemistry that involves everything from singing, dancing and high-flying physical feats.
2-Man No-Show-2 continues in the vaudevillian vein of their previous show that won awards and praise across North America:
