Mack & Jamie’s hilarious and critically acclaimed two-man one-man show — the one-man so big it took two men to do it! Here are a few reviews… Los Angeles Times **** CRITICS CHOICE ! **** What do you get when you put together a Mississippi good ol’ boy and a vegetarian musical comedy buff…..? You get the comedy team of Mack and Jamie one of the smoothest, most engaging pairings since Bob Hope met Bing Crosby….they are well matched when it comes to intellectual wit and gently acerbic repartee. “Two for All” ….. is an introduction to the duo at their sophisticated, easeful best…..The two are funniest when they are chatting, stream-of-consciousness style…..Mixed in with the inspired silliness is deft character work, surprisingly tuneful musical turns and plenty of improvisational savior-faire. Will Mack and Jamie be the next comics to get their own sitcom? If the network suits have any sense, they will. - F. Kathleen Foley Los Angeles Reader PICK OF THE WEEK Why pussyfoot around? Mack and Jamie are comedy at it’s apex. Messrs. Dryden and Alcroft employ outlandish physical skills, verbal dexterity, strong singing harmonies, sound effects and improvisational brilliance ….. Among their dazzling repertoire: Jamie’s sound effects as Mack transforms a children’s story into an acid trip, and Jamie mutating his face with cellophane tape while Mack sings…..”Two For All” goes far beyond what larger groups do in this town, thanks to the duo’s emotionally resonant confessions about each other’s lives….. The writing is faultless in it’s strength and length….. It is rare for a critic to unabashedly gush, but Mack and Jamie belong in the pantheon of great comedians. - Brad Schreiber L.A. Weekly …..Mack Dryden and Jamie Alcroft’s gentle comedy is an on the road, desperate-odd-couple story and Mack and Jamie reveal a cozy friendship and the ability to perform both verbal and physical comedy…..in a style that’s glowingly reminiscent of the old relationship driven vehicles with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope bickering and nit-picking…..from hysterical malapropisms to Sherlock Holmes parodies to quirky songs…..all in a well-paced and well-packaged two hours of laughs. – Jana J.
