and The Washington post Going Out Guru says:
“It’s awfully winsome…this charming band of entertainers has a little something up its collective sleeve…the Gracie Allen quality of Sabrina Mandell as Diz Aster, who sings plaintively yet winningly with Izzy Aster (Mandell’s real-life husband, Mark Jaster). The duo discovers neat opportunities for subtle slapstick in the midst of standards like “Bicycle Built for Two,” and Jaster — a gifted physical clown — graciously cedes the spotlight to Mandell’s adorably kooky persona.

Happenstance Theater’s Cabaret CooCoo Features Classy acts and Captivating Characters: Hosted by Scooter Undercroft, and starring The Legendary Dancing Cigarette Girls, Izzy and Diz Aster Singing Cheery Songs of the Great Depression, Nicolo the Juggling Accordionist, the Amazing Illusionist Catastrafi, the Melodious Pit band, and surprise(d) guests!
It’s a Chaotic Vaudeville Concoction.
