Review: 

Belying the subtitle of their own show, The Flaming Idiots, a trio of Flying Karamazov-style comedians/jugglers/stupid-human-tricksters, keep an audience "up" for two hours, and we never come down. Juggling bowling pins and circular rings may be old hat, but the verbal jokes feel fresh and are delivered with gusto. The odder moments -- Gyro constructing a bologna sandwich with his feet; Pyro juggling fire atop a very large audience volunteer -- prove even more diverting. Sheer fun, and extra- welcome for that reason.
