You Have Failed Me for the Last Time

You Have Failed Me for the Last Time
You Have Failed Me for the Last Time is a bold, laugh-out-loud comedy that had audience members in stitches from start to finish. Supervillain Friedrich von Fittervach, a perfect mash-up of Spaceballs’ Dark Helmet and Austin Powers’ Dr. Evil, is given a distinctive personal portrayal by lead actor Lucas McQueen, making the character uniquely his own and adding both charm and hilarity. He dreams of ruling the world from his remote volcano base — if only his bumbling workforce and interfering board didn’t keep getting in the way.
Vons Fittervachs workers — Matthews, Reed, and Parsons — fumble hilariously through his plans, while clever writing also gives glimpses into the mundanity of their daily lives, echoing low level factory jobs everywhere, and adding a witty and relatable layer to the chaos. MI6 agent Agent Blonde delivers perfectly timed reactions that keep the comedy rolling.
Top-notch lighting and sound punctuate every gag, from alarms to dramatic reveals, enhancing the comedy without stealing the spotlight. Director Ian Dunn’s sharp guidance and Lucas McQueen’s writing and performance combine to create a campy, clever, and utterly entertaining show. You Have Failed Me for the Last Time is a must-see for comedy lovers.
Woohoo moment: Long-suffering manservant Ivor provides the show’s woohoo moment with a solo performance that had the audience roaring — no spoilers, but it’s a true highlight.
