"This show should simply not be missed ...transcendent ...absolutely hilarious ...beautiful ...the whole thing feels like a jazz symphony made up on the spot by Duke, Miles, Coltrane and Fitzgerald. Yes, the members of Wet The Hippo are that good."
~L.A. BITTER LEMONS.
“Somehow, Gilkey has managed to assemble the most unassuming yet mesmerizing group of people you’ve seen in Los Angeles. I left feeling more confused, inspired, fulfilled, curious and stunned than any live performance I’ve seen in a while.”
~WE MAKE MOVIES
A completely new approach to live performance in which the ensemble is directed in real time right in front of the audience. Wet The Hippo will stop at nothing to make sure their audience is satisfied. The show features nine performers including actors, improvisers, comedians, and one concert violist.
