Business Casual : Cowboys - 4**** - One4Review
one4review | On 24, Aug 2025
Yeeha!! Business Casual : Cowboys is a romp through The Wild West you won’t want to miss. Our hapless trio, manage to construct a story out of extortion, murder and revenge with more than a few laughs along the way. The on-stage chemistry between the 3 is superb, each joke or mini sketch flows well into the next.
It’s not improv, but it has that kind of feel to it, along with a bucketful of slapstick. It’s a very well written show, the puns are endless and the energy they exude is matched by an incredibly enthusiastic audience. Our central protagonist goes by the name of Levi Jeans, he’s the fastest gunslinger in the west, and he’s hell bent on extracting revenge on the brothers that wiped out his family.
It’s ridiculous fun, the actors jump in and out of several character roles, adding to the madness already on the stage. There’s plenty innuendo in this cowboy pantomime, it’s as subtle as a punch in the gut, but it all works, making this show stand out from the crowd. There’s a few loose parts that could be tightened up but they don’t detract from the overall enjoyment experience.
