Reviews for "The Aftermath of the Denver Mascot Collapse: How the Team Responds"
1. Emily - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the Denver mascot pass out. I was expecting a fun and exciting performance, but instead it was just a guy in a costume stumbling around and falling to the ground. It was not entertaining at all and I definitely would not recommend it to anyone. Save your time and money and find something else to do in Denver.
2. John - 2 stars
The Denver mascot pass out was near the bottom of my list of entertainment experiences. The mascot seemed unprepared and lacked any sort of coordination or talent. The concept seemed like it could be funny, but the execution fell flat. I was bored throughout the entire performance and felt like I wasted my time. I wouldn't attend another event featuring this mascot.
3. Sarah - 1 star
Attending the Denver mascot pass out was a mistake. The performance was not engaging and it was clear that the mascot lacked any kind of skill or stage presence. The jokes were predictable and unfunny. I left early because I just couldn't bear to sit through any more of it. I do not recommend this event to anyone who wants to have a good time.
