Keilly & Roeters at the Chicago Sketchfest 2008 |
Experience counts, as if we needed reminding. Returning fest favs Suzanne Keilly & Kirsten Roeters (assisted by pal Ted Raimi) slice through the feminine mystique in a series of sophisticated volleys, skirmishes and cat fights. The incidental moments of their manic yet polished routines feature more gusto and wit than most sketch comics manage in an entire hour. -- The Chicagoist

"Best of the Fest" TOP FIVE SHOWS... Their outstanding acting chops brought the funny to the surface in every sketch. —Time Out Chicago The scenes found these two solid, emotionally-invested actors often taking their feud to extremes. They literally had a knock-down-drag-out fight over who was going to pay for lunch, bad mouthed each other on the altar and, though they willingly shared pills at the old folks home, prayed the other would die swiftly. The show’s sloppy charm had us at “Hello,” but the concluding half-naked pillow fight didn’t hurt. —Time Out Chicago

| What people are saying about Lather. Rinse. Repeat. |
"Sarah Silverman should watch out. Roeters and Keilly have created a refreshingly funny sketch comedy show in LATHER, RINSE, REPEAT that balances great writing and performances. The old vanguard of rowdy female comediennes will soon have to make room for more competition as Kirsten and Suzanne inevitably grow in popularity. Catch them while their star is rising.” “Brilliant, hysterical, sexy fun. Among those who said ‘moral values’ were the most important issue in sketch comedy, 92% voted for Roeters/Keilly. These girls aren't just legally-registered U.S. voters. They're also incredibly talented comedians.” “This show has lots of hilarious, memorable lines I was repeating to friends afterward. Well crafted sketches performed with energy and great comic timing. Roeters and Keilly make a hilarious, high energy, screwball duo. A guaranteed crowd pleaser.” J.J. Philbin (Co-EP: Heroes) “These bitches be funny. They remind me of a young Abbot and Costello if Abbot and Costello had vaginas and breasts.” “Brilliant! They’re a young, American Ab-Fab.” |
