Speedmouse Review

Jason Zinoman gives a review on "Speedmouse," a theatrical production of playground antics performed by David Collins and Shane Dundas. The pair dress in the similar trousers and suspenders and spend an hour and a half performing different comedy stunts that will entertain an audience of all ages. Collins and Dundas, otherwise known as the "Umbilical Brothers," have dance, puppetry, and jokes you would see pulled on playground in their act. Zinoman spends most of the article complimenting the duo on their act, but does admit that he found it a bit boring after the first hour. Maybe this comedy routine is better for families with children.

Zinoman uses strong, unusual words like "affable Australian doofuses" to pull readers in, but the lede is a bit long. Zinoman's writing style stays consistant throughout the article, keeping the reader interested in the review and what's happening in the act.
