Parry Hotter and the Half-Drunk Twins
One man. Seven books. No Rules. An irreverent solo re-enactment of the eccentric tale of Harry Potter, mixing in pop culture and song, this parody will delight most HP fans, but not uptight fun-haters or Centaurs.
I've already touted Tom Reed as a returning favorite in a previous post, so I'll just tag that here to save on repeating myself.
I love watching Tom Reed perform, mostly because he's such a big adorable goofball. His satire of the Potter books comes from a place of love (and knowledge that my Potter fan of a mother will doubtless appreciate on a whole other level). Playing all the characters in the seven book series doesn't phase him a bit. And he got it all done just at the yellow warning light went on.
This excerpt poked fun at one of the wizard tournaments they're always having at Hogwarts, in which Harry is invariably given a task that is considered to be certain death.
During the swimming part of the competition, a character appeared who seemed vaguely stoned and my first thought was, "Michael Phelps reference?"
The highlight was Dumbledore bursting into song (after mistakenly believing Harry had come to him to admit he was homosexual), belting out "It's All Right To Be Gay (Just Keep It To Yourself)."
Once they have the clip up on the Fringe's YouTube Page, you'll want to check it out. It's really funny stuff.
