These
guys are great. The show is basically about sword fights, whip
tricks and a lot of joking around.
They performed 4 different shows at the fair this year.
Their "Cruel and Unusual" show - This has a funny warm up, a little bantering back and forth, a great whip trick by Hack, that of course is made all that much harder by Slash. And of course the smashing of a cinder block on Slashes chest while he lays on the bed of 1000 spikes.
The "Ale Extravaganza" show - This is great. It revolves around ale of course. And what happens when one person tries to steal someones drink. Of course a sword fight breaks out and comedy and chaos ensues.
The "Danger Slash" show - This is what you get when you mix the crazy genious of Slash with an unicycle, and the 6' green and brown bullwhip (the most dangerous color combination known to man)
Then Slash also had a comedy hypnosis show, that I sadly never had the oportunity to check out.
This picture is during the pre-show for the ale extravaganza.
Note the ale keg on the stage. It did get a lot of use too. On
stage (from left to right) is Slash, Hack, Eric the T-shirt boy,
and the sign language guy.
Listening to these 4 during the pre-show was almost as good as
the actual show. The little jabs back and forth were great. Also,
H&S played off the sign language guy several times during the
show. This was one of the funniest shows I saw. Especially when
the sign language guy got ale spewed all over him.
These two pictures are from the rare Hack & Eric show.
Slashes plane was delayed so Eric the T-shirt boy filled in for
the first performance of the Cruel and Unusual show. Eric did a
very good job of filling in.
I wish I had taken more pictures, but I was too busy laughing to think about it. Also, I usually didn't have the camera ready for the really good shots. I should have gotten one of H&S "giving it back" to the crowd.
