CGiii Comment

Ben & Ben - a writing and acting duo - NOT.

A disastrous project of improvisation - actors who can neither act nor improvise - now that's what is called flogging not just a dead donkey...but, one that has rotted down to its vanquished bones.

Really, there is nothing worse than seeing a fat porker trying to have sex (with either sex).

Stomach churning and sleep inducing.

Oh fuck, after 10 years of abstinence, Ben & Ben are making a comeback - bring on the soon-to-be-flogged donkeys.
