Publisher's summary

Who's on First? - On a team where the first baseman's named Who, the second baseman's named What, Idon'tKnow is on third, a woman finds it difficult to make her husband understand that the answer to his question, "Who's on first?" is Who. This work could also be called "The Relationship" because there is not a couple alive that has not had a discussion or three like this. Enjoy!

Sorry I bought this!

What disappointed you about Who's on First??

It wasn't funny! There was no emotion. in the actors voices. No nothing. Just a flat reading. Abbott and Costello still do it the best.

What could the authors have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Maybe put a little more feeling in to it. A little more tension.

What character would you cut from Who's on First??

Both of them.

Forget this version

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Can MAYBE be enjoyed by someone who has never heard it performed. But I doubt it.

What did you like best about this story?

That I could stop it and delete it.

How could the performance have been better?

Would have been better if performed by mutes with a background of Tiny Tim singing "Tiptoe thru the Tulips"

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Anger that people would perform this in such an amateur manner.

Any additional comments?

It would be a testament to God's justice if people would read this review and avoid this piece of trash version of an American work of art.

Where's Abbot?

I thought I was getting Abbott and Costello.'s version. Wrong. It was not enjoyable at all.

This Performance is a Criminal Ripoff - Do Not Buy

This performance is a criminal ripoff of a classic Abbott & Costello comedy routine. These performers did not reinterpret or change any of it to add to the performance. Their comedic timing and delivery is awful. A classic routine went from a true laugh fest to a boring snooze. They may have bought the rights to the routine, but their poor performance ruined it. They should stick to selling shoes instead of attempting comedy. Not everybody can pull it off. Abbott & Costello were masters and their performance is available on YouTube. Do not promote ripoffs like this by buying this one. You too will want your money back.
