Chuck Salmon: Pool Noodles 4****
August 14, 2022 | one4review
This well-developed whimsical romp is long-form sketch comedy. It’s got many of the elements you’d expect from sketch and improv – a plot that refuses to do the expected, a plethora of well-drawn characters, inventive and minimalist staging – but … Read More
