Grab a cocktail table at the Uncle Remus Motel’s Briar Patch Lounge and get ready for an acid-soaked flashback to the swinging ’70s, because singers Spin and Marlene Milton are back aboard their midnight train of meandering musical monologues and suggestive non-sequiturs.
Joe and Becky Fisher return for the third time in nearly 30 years to writer Len Jenkins’s endearingly off-kilter singing ex-spouses, who can make even the most innocuous pop hit (like “The Pina Colada Song”) sound creepily cracked.
These Fringe vets have perfectly aged into their their roles, and segments involving a near-death experience and alien abduction add an eerie edge. If you have fond memories of Mark & Lorna at the Red Fox Lounge (or SNL’s Culp Family) then you won’t want to miss this sweetly surreal railroad ride into rockin’ retro ridiculousness.
