Come see the Candidatos!



Written, Directed & Performed by The Candidatos, Kevin Wall and Justin Rose

A mildly macabre adventure of incompetent betrayal, I’m Sorry & I’m Sorry follows the failed attempts of two clownish characters – a seasick sailor & an overzealous actor – to espcape both the police & each other. Part Marx Brothers, part Cohen Brothers, part Cirque du Soleil, the performance employs physical comedy, evasive banter, acrobatic drunkenness, willful deception, some mechanical gadgetry, & no small amount of absurdity. The show has played to sold-out houses and critical acclaim in festivals across the country and continues to tour nationally and internationally.

5 stars … the very best … a clever, graceful, funny, heartbreaking gem of a show. – The Minneapolis Fringe

A demonstration of the talents of its performers and the theatrical acumen of the Candidatos … [who]create colorful characters and perform expertly.

"A fantastic voyage in the hands of two supremely talented Candidatos." - Philadelphia Metro

"Nonsense in the best sense...imagine a fancy dress party attended by Terry Thomas as Laurence Olivier and Charlie Chaplin as Inspector Clousea." - Irish Theater Magazine
