Bob and Reggie Go To Bed - Comedy Suitcase
Created by Joshua English Scrimshaw & Levi Weinhagen
Two idiots get ready for bed. Complications arise. A live show full of physical comedy, live music, and no words.
And here’s another post that probably isn’t fully necessary. I don’t have to say anything other than “Hey, Joshua English Scrimshaw and Levi Weinhagen are teaming up again as Comedy Suitcase with a brand new physical comedy show” and you’re going, right?
It’s called Bob and Reggie Go To Bed - but it’s not listed in the LGBTQ+ content roster, so I guess they’re just going to bed. It’s a kid-friendly show.
On this show’s Fringe page, I love the genre tag on the Fringe website that just says, “Non-Verbal” - as if someone at the festival said, “Whatever you do, don’t use the word MIME!”
Joshua and his brother Joseph, both together and separately, were on my pre-Fringe Top 10 list way back in 2005, but they’d already done so much Fringe content in previous years that they hardly needed a shout-out from me even back then. Joshua’s work with the Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society is also a big favorite of mine, whether they’re fighting Nazis or raising Frankenstein (and it lent itself perfectly to going virtual during the pandemic). But watching him and Levi fall down a lot is always amusing. I’d worry more for their physical safety if I wasn’t laughing so hard. This’ll be a great lighthearted change of pace that will be much needed on my schedule (and yours, too).

(Side note: Also during Fringe season, Minnesota has a primary election coming up on August 9th. Early voting options are currently available. You can also check out what's on your ballot ahead of time on the Minnesota Secretary of State website, as well as other voting services and information. In Minneapolis, not only do we have the Governor and Lt. Governor on the ballot, but there's our U.S. Congressional Rep., our MN State Senator, the MN Secretary of State and MN Attorney General, as well as our County Sheriff and County Attorney, and two members of the Minneapolis School Board. These are the people who decide what laws we live under and how they get enforced. These are the people who decide whether or not we have voting rights. These are the people who decide how our kids learn. This is how we change things. Personally, I'm alternately furious and despairing that my goddaughter and her little sister now have fewer rights over their own bodies than they did a month ago - there are things we can do, voting in the primary (and the general election) is one of them - here's a place you can go to do more.)
