It was a very special Living Room indeed! Every comic had a different reason to celebrate, and a new reason to hope (for laughs).

Host of Honor Mo Diggs introduced the following lineup:
Cesar Zamora
Claudia Cogan
Luke Thayer
Mike Drucker
and a reading by Kambri Crews

With special guest appearances by poet Elizabeth Alexander and flight attendant Lisa Hulvershorn.


Abbi and Luke welcomed viewers to the fifty-first show and celebrated new beginnings. A new president, a new year, and a new job search for Abbi. Luke gave her pointers, because he's a job-having know-it-all.


Mo Diggs rejoiced as host for the first time, and warned of the pitfalls of putting the moves on someone with comedy albums.


Cesar Zamora celebrated his first set on the Living Room show by discussing his Mexican heritage and other ethnicities he is not.


American poet Elizabeth Alexander read an alternate version of the poem she read at last Tuesday's presidential inauguration. Although it was mainly just an ode to steak, it was more interesting than her original reading.


Claudia Cogan also made her Living Room debut and shared her dreams of creating new words based on herself. Because she's humble.


Back from Mexico, Luke Thayer came to fill the room with the holy spirit! Or l'espiritu santo.


Survivor of the miraculous crash, flight 1549 flight attendant Lisa Hulvershorn celebrated her survival and shared her opinion on others making headlines. She doubted they were as lucky as she is.


Mike Drucker returned to the show, this time with anec dotes on growing up chunky and later being heckled by himself. Ouch! And hahahahaha.


Kambri Crews gave the show its first comedy reading, enjoying her freedom and recounting the dangers of smuggling Juicy Fruit to the wrong kind of guy.


Everyone had an amazing set, but Claudia Cogan was voted the Funniest Comedian of All Time! She'll have plenty of reason to go shopping so she can fill up her impostor Coach bag!

Get your girlfriend a knock-off and have her show it off at our Valentine's Day show on February 13th!

Show 50: Brand New Year

While Luke had a gig in sunny Mexico, comics and audience were bundled up in New York to enjoy another installment of The Living Room!

Host of Honor RG Daniels introduced the following lineup:
Kevin McCaffrey
Hilary Schwartz
Corwin Moore
Brendan Fitzgibbons
Abbi Crutchfield
and a character by Steve Bossous

With a special guest appearance by Rosa Fiasco with the news!


Abbi welcomed viewers to the fiftieth show and thought she was accompanied by Luke, until the man removed his glasses to reveal he was Brendan Fitzgibbons! Shocked, Abbi realized the whole week long she had been making someone ELSE help her with chores.


RG Daniels wanted viewers to know he is not a morning person. Luckily he told us at night.


Hilary Schwartz discussed Jewish life for her first time on the show. Here's to many more tales of mother-induced woe.


Kevin McCaffrey let us know off the bat that he fights with Muppets like nobody's business. And makes a habit of being an irreverent Catholic. Just like Jim Henson.


No one knows current events like hairstylist Rosa Fiasco. Because when you've been cooped up in a salon all day, you know them a different way than everyone else does.


Living Room regular Brendan Fitzgibbons had a thing or two to say about New Jersey and his take on US Weekly. Both suck.


Abbi Crutchfield unleashed all of her impressions in one fell swoop, so wipe that Jack Nicholson smile right off your face.


The Militant Black Warrior treated us to some serious life lessons and scared everyone into laughing. Gotta have a hook.


Corwin Moore spent his first time on the show talking about life and making some hilarious Obama observations after the looong election. How long was it? Go see his act to find out.


Jermain Fowler made his debut and warned audience members of the dangers of visiting in Brooklyn. At least he lived to tell the tale.


The room was bursting with talent, and the Hat of Chance chose Brendan Fitzgibbons as the Funniest Comedian of All Time. He was awarded with America's favorite game of wooden blocks. America's second favorite game of wooden blocks: actual wooden blocks.
