Last Chance

Afterbirth: Kathy and Mo’s Greatest Hits: The title says it straight. Most of the comedy sketches at the Canon Theatre attained hit status years ago. Like devotees of an ‘80s rock group, the fans of Kathy Najimy and Mo Gaffney start applauding or even squealing at the first hint of a familiar riff. Seven sketches are from the duo’s ‘80s claim to fame, “Parallel Lives,” and one is from their ‘90s show “The Dark Side.” Two are new; some rewriting has taken place in others. The material isn’t uniformly wonderful, but the performances are as strong as ever. Under the direction of Mark Brokaw, Najimy and Gaffney display the same sense of comic communion they had two decades ago.
