We expected a deep philosophical journey but got a masterclass in unintentional comedy instead. The acts were so amateur that the only way to survive was to laugh our way through it. As Socrates said, "I know that I know nothing"—and clearly, neither did the producers. Sorry Socrates, you deserved better!
