And the audience participation proves riotous, especially in a frenzied game of Quidditch, in which poor Jeff finds himself absurdly dressed up as the golden snitch and the adults in the audience behave even worse than the kids when it comes to gaining possession of the Quaffle.
As someone who gave up on the Potter books along with my wife and son when faced with the dauntingly long fourth instalment, deciding that life was too short for quite so much turgid prose and repetitive plotting, the irreverence of this show comes as a blessed relief. For those looking for an alternative to pantomime which will tickle the funny bone of every age group, this bonkers and blessedly brief show is just the ticket.
Dan, in particular, often seems a trifle confused between his Potter and his Lord of the Rings and Narnia adventures. Then there is his misunderstanding about the difference between Hogwarts and warthogs. And when he plays the Defence of the Dark Arts teacher, Lupin, the werewolf has inexplicably transmuted into an elephant.
These mixups weigh heavily on self-appointed Harry Potter expert Jeff, all the more because Dan has used all the money set aside to employ 20 actors on the dragon in Book Four.
The dragon, needless to say, turns out to be a severe disappointment. At moments, there is a touch of the National Theatre of Brent in the prickly relationship between Dan and Jeff. This is also the only show in town in which the audience get to participate in a game of quidditch, even though Dan appears to think that a vacuum cleaner can be substituted for a Nimbus and Jeff has a trying time as the Golden Snitch.
A winner in every way. Lyn Gardner, The Guardian. The cleverest thing about this two-man parody updated, book by book is that it appeals both to the ardent fan as an in-joke, and to parents… Precision disguised as incompetence is a perennial form of comedy. These guys are good. With all the Harry Potter books and movies done, and no new material to pore over, where can a devoted Muggle get a fix?
You could fly to Florida, to the Universal Studios Orlando theme park. Using bad wigs and Silly String on a set so cheap it might have been furnished by Craigslist, Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Turner do indeed tell an abbreviated, ridiculous version of the Boy Who Lived. Turner plays Harry, though when he wears those signature glasses, he looks more like that pinball wizard, Elton John. Clarkson, at least — the dragon from Book 4. A highlight is the game Quidditch played with audience participation.
And a very golden Snitch. Potted Potter grew from a five-minute street sketch recapping the first five books that the two created in to entertain Potter fans lined up for the release of the sixth, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Besides, if you miss something, another laugh will be along shortly. Clearly Mr.
