ABOUT THE FLYING KARAMAZOV BROTHERS
Expect the unexpected with The Flying Karamazov Brothers, featuring the four self-proclaimed eccentric lunatics spicing things up with laugh-out-loud comedy, wild theatrics, arcane errata, and astonishing juggling feats.
Formed at UC Santa Cruz in 1973, The Flying Karamazov Brothers have been seen around the world, on Broadway, on television, and on the big screen, including "Seinfeld", "Mr. Roger's Neighborgood", and "Jewel of the Nile".
They are not Russian, they are not brothers, and they don’t fly but they are “as close to a sure thing that can be found onstage, 100 minutes of cleverness and comedy that go by in a flash” ~New York Times
WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING...?
“As close to a sure thing as can be found onstage, 100 minutes of cleverness and comedy that go by in a flash!” ~The New York Times
“Extraordinary entertainment! Don’t walk, don’t run, FLY to see the amazing Karamazovs!” ~NY1
“The Karamazovs deliver visual and verbal one-liners, all while creatively tossing about anything they can get their hands on!” ~The Wall Street Journal
“Something special… top-notch… they are irresistible.” ~The Daily Telegraph
“Give a hand to the magical merry pranksters who juggle hilarity in an act that does justice to Dostoyevsky!” ~Jewish Exponent
“The Marx Brothers meets the Juilliard String Quartet.” ~Boston Globe
“What kind of show is this? They take your jacket and just throw it?” ~Jerry Seinfeld (Season 7, Episode 18)
“They are mesmerizing masterminds of musical meditation and muscle and you mustn't miss their show.” ~Maureen Peterson, The Gazette of Montreal
“They are as nimble of wit as they are deft of hand and your mouth will open wide in laughter no less than in awe. They handle an audience as cleverly as the cleavers, clubs, knives and other imaginable and unimaginable objects they juggle, and they are as playful and personable as puppy dogs with a hypertropic intelligence. This wholesome show should tickle equally the child with and the child within you.” ~John Simon, New York magazine
“Zany! Literate! They resemble a squad of Groucho Marxists.” ~Jay Sharbutt, Associated Press
“What can one say? There is "Oedipus at Colonus" and "King Lear," and then there is the mighty ouvre of The Flying Karamazov Brothers, who share with Sophocles and Shakespeare the distinction of not being able to fly, not being named Karamazov, and not being brothers.” ~Brenden Gill, The New Yorker “Their self-imposed recipe of good juggling and bad jokes is irresistible to Karamazov addicts such as myself. I think they have a touch of genius to them.... A marvelous mix of the Marx Brothers, Monty Python and 'Hellzapoppin!... A unique entertainment! You have to be there and you should be there as soon as possible. Catch it!” ~Clive Barnes, New York Post
