Are you Alice? - Fork it over

Are you Alice? - Fork it over.


Company: IM Label
Based on: Original
Released: 2011.??.??


In Are you Alice a male Alice wanders into wonderland and is subsequently involved in 'the game to kill the white rabbit'. Alice his story is told in three drama CDs - Drink me, Check Mate, and Call me- but there are several expansions to the story. This is one of the side dramas for Are you Alice? that came with the limited edition of one of the novels.

The Queen of Hearts is bored, and therefore decides that Jack (who was allowed to speak only 10 syllables in 10 years) is suddenly allowed to speak again. On one condition; when the Queen is present he may only say funny things.

Because Jack isn't very funny on his own, it is then decided that he should form a manzai combi with Alice. Neither one wants to do this, but when the Queen mentions that manzai comedians are popular with the ladies lately Alice is suddenly motivated to give his all.

Hearing Jack again after a while was a lot of fun. The -absolutely horrible- manzai skits he does with Alice are pretty funny as well (simply because they are that bad). But the best part was the Hatter who suddenly turns out to be a master at tsukkomi.


Conclusion:
While the randomness and sillyness gets mos of the attention, a few more serious remarks are made, especially by the Queen, making me wonder what is going to happen next in the world of Are you Alice?.  Besides that this is a wonderfully random side drama, well worth listening for a laugh if you know the series.
