Longtime colleagues Mike Fotis and Joe Bozic present a string of interlocking comedy sketches on topics as wildly divergent as children's theater, Harley Davidsons, Sunshine McFairy ponies and the dangers of cut-rate tattoos. Bozic is particularly amusing as a 9-year-old lemonade stand mogul with a cut-throat knack for sales and dead-on hilarious in a couple of interpretive dance numbers, while Fotis shines as a really cool Jesus ("J Rocket" to his friends). Occasionally crass, often irreverent and unfailingly entertaining. (2:30 p.m. Sat., 7 p.m. Mon., 8:30 p.m. Wed., 5:30 p.m. next Sat., New Century Theater, 615 Hennepin Av. S. in City Center.)
