By Ernest Kearney — It strikes me that certain shows at the Fringe are trying to follow the success of The Mighty Boosh, the surreal skit comedy that went from hit at the Edinburgh Fringe to BBC cult classic and one such hopeful is Olivia Wilde Does Not Survive the Apocalypse onstage at The Complex Hollywood for HFF19. Perhaps it indicates that I am not the right audience for this show in that I have no idea who the hell Olivia Wilde is.
Director Robby DeVillez and writer Matthew S. Robinson have whipped together a nice little mish-mosh of sci-fi zombies and cultural references full of sound, fury and silliness.
For me there was one joke that got a laugh, the people behind me were guffawing themselves sick, while the row in
front of me were sitting there as if they were attending the funeral of a beloved aunt.
Perhaps this is a show for those who live for tweeting and are addicted to TMZ, but that’s just not me.
