5 stars for the show!

So funny!

These guys are hilarious! I’m so glad I started listening last year. I laugh out loud every episode. Their live show in Denver is such a great time, but I’m so glad I get to enjoy their humor weekly. I love their dynamic together. We always need more laughter, so I highly recommend The Grawlix Saves the World.
