Review by Jamie Wright

Friends Ky and Tim have found the Amulet of Paragon, which they believe will lead them to the lost cityof Atlantis. Will they make it?

A musical comedy act in the vein of Tripod, Flight of the Conchords and Tenacious D, Ky (the one withthe mandolin) and Tim (the one with the guitar) display superb singer/songwriting and comic talent inthe hour-long show; folk-rock songs are interspersed with laugh-out-loud comic scenes featuring a bevyof wacky characters - including a charmingly racist historian, a depraved Egyptian merchant andseveral arrogant, keyboard-wielding Atlanteans.

While a couple of the songs could be a verse or two shorter and the shifting back and forth betweencharacters wasn't always clear – perhaps a few props/costumes would help – these are really only minorflaws; it’s a laugh-out-loud, funny show by two very talented guys.

Rating: 4 stars (out of 5)
