[Review] Good Luck, Studio – Giggles, Groans, and a Gun

Curtain Call

“Wibble! Wibble! The dragon who can jump and dance and giggle!” Last week, I had the pleasure of attending a performance of Good Luck, Studio, a new Mischief show that has been touring since the beginning of October of this year.
