'Open 24 Hours' Nuvo review
8/29/07

Nuvo
An infectiously funny group of four actors perform five short plays. There
are no bombs in the show — and a couple of the less successful pieces
("Scrambled," "Say No More") may get better over the course of the Fringe as
the performers polish their performances. There's no saving the intrinsic
logic flaw in "The Plunge," but kudos to the actors for the brave baring of
their, ahem, souls. That leaves the meta-metaphoric delights of "Something
Went Wrong," about a man named Harry who comes home with a dead clown, and
"A Gay Thing," where Roach and Velotta play best friends, one gay, one
straight, who discuss the straight one's gender preference confusion. "A Gay
Thing" is the best of their show, very funny and perfectly paced.
