Show 49: Holiday Wrap-Up
Photography by Aemiessence Fine Arts
It's the last show of the year! Can you believe it?
We invited everyone to come out and celebrate the festivities. And by festivities we mean the shabby garland we hang on the wall each year.
Host of Honor Mike Ennis introduced the following lineup:
Reese Waters
Stacia Jensen
Luke Thayer
Liam McEneaney
a sketch by Team Submarine
a comedy short by Tyler Flowers and Chris Maloney
With special guest appearance by Trudy Westwood, Casting Agent and a sketch by Abbi Crutchfield.
Abbi and Luke welcomed viewers to the forty-ninth show with an awkward exchange about holiday wear that ended with Abbi storming off. Luke called her back, and when she asked for an apology, he said, "I'm sorry that bit did not go well." Abbi introduced a short film by Chris Maloney and Tyler Flowers, called "Betrayal".
Tyler enjoyed his work again from the audience.
Mike Ennis enjoyed riffing on the art by kids that adorned the walls and talked about his family. Then he bought some for a suggested donation. Artwork, not family members.
Reese Waters returned to discuss the complexities of interracial dating. It's not just a black and white matter. Although sometimes it is.
Abbi returned for an updated version of the twisted sketch, "Baby It's Cold Outside, The Untold Story". Nothing like murder around the holidays. Right, Valkyrie?
Newcomer to the show Stacia Jensen explored the possibilities and implications of leaving New York City and the horrors of dry weddings.
His ears were burning, so Luke commented on his own potentially dry wedding. Think of the savings!
Trudy Westwood of Westwood Casting hears all of the news first, and she shared it with us. But first she coached comedian Brendan Fitzgibbons on how to read for a soup commercial.
Liam McEneaney returned to the Living Room to talk about his Irish heritage, and what it means to live by the Bible. Not related.
Closing out the show and making their Living Room debut, we had Nate Fernald and Steve O'Brien of Team Submarine who played a rousing game of Truth or Dare!
The award ceremony took an unusual turn...
Liam McEneaney was named the Funniest Comedian of All Time! But an audience voiced his need for his favorite performer to win "because she and I are the only people who smoke." So Stacia Jensen got the Smoker's Choice Award! So much for that New Year's resolution.
Get giddy for our next show on Friday January 9th, 2009! It's our fiftieth episode!

Show 40: The Announcement
Photography by Aemiessence Fine Arts
This was a very special Living Room show! Not only did it turn 40 (performances old), but the co-producers Abbi and Luke unveiled a secret they had been sitting on for three whole days:
They are engaged!
Some of you are saying, "I thought they were engaged years ago," or "I always figured they were brother and sister," or even "What is this? I was trying to get to The Living Room, the music venue". Hunker down, Partner, and read all about the fun surprises each performer revealed.
He's been there since the show started in 2006, and Matt McCarthy returned to lead the following lineup:
Ed Murray
Brent Sullivan
Abbi Crutchfield
Reese Waters
a sketch by Bacivo Nuggets
with special guests Jack Yu and Mark Helphenstein.
Matt confessed his trouble with spelling and the problem it poses to his artistic side.
Ed Murray pondered health insurance for starving artists and the reality of debt that's so close it's like family.
Chinatown merchant Jack Yu stopped by to sell us generic super hero toys and read us the news. For a white man adopted by a Chinese family, he sure knows how to insult a tourist.
Brent got audience participation to back him up on his crying problem. The same one he's had his entire life.
Abbi returned to the stage to reminisce on dating and dish about Barbara Walters' mild and crazy life.
The foremost George Michael impersonator in all of New York, Mark Helphenstein, took center stage to rock out to "Faith". Without his lucky pic, however, the song turned more into a rant session and a vendetta against Matt McCarthy.
Recent March Comedy Madness winner Reese Waters was our final stand-up of the evening and taught us about the difference among Duane Reades in each neighborhood.
For their first time on the show, the Bacivo Nuggets performed a sketch, a press conference whereby Dr. Seuss defends the private lives of storybook characters. Let's just say Rain Man had good reason to eat Green Eggs and Ham.
The Hat of Chance selected Reese Waters as the Funniest Comedian of All Time! A first-time recipient, he will hug his new figurine with pride.
Don't miss our next show on May 23rd, the final hurrah before our two-month summer break!

Living Room Alumni Sweet 16 Finalists in March Comedy Madness
Three comedians who have graced our stage made it all the way to the Sweet 16 round of the March Comedy Madness competition at Caroline's!
Reese Waters, Lance Weiss, and J.L. Cauvin showed their stuff and proved their worth over an original pool of 64 comedians! You can't do that with fart jokes and a hypnosis kit.
The show is the brainchild of another Living Room homey, Josh Filipowski of Like2Laugh Productions.
Check out the rest of the competitions as the Elite Eight and Final Four showdowns are bound to make you more money than your awful college ball brackets.
TUESDAYS, 9:30pm
Carolines on Broadway
1626 Broadway (btwn 49th/50th)

Show 32: New Beginnings
Photography by Aemiessence Fine Arts
It's a new year, Baby! Our first show celebrating 2008 brought performers who were new to the room and some old favorites. Dave Lester hosted this fresh-tastic lineup:
Abbi Crutchfield
Reese Waters
Becky Ciletti
Rob O'Reilly
with a sketch by The Straight Men
and special guest Otis Perlman the Dixiecrat and news by Ricky Labit.
Dave Lester kicked off the show by sharing some Brooklyn love.
Abbi Crutchfield wore a black and white shirt in solidarity with her ancestors (both sides).
Did someone beat Dave up in the green room and rob him of his gear? No! He CHOSE to return in socks and a bathrobe because that's how dedicated he is to the Living Room ambiance! Why didn't we think of that?
Reese Waters anticipated Black History Month by dismantling stereotypes while cracking up the crowd.
Luke Thayer brought his gut out as Ricky Labit, an American who recently made headlines for getting kicked out of an all-you-can-eat restaurant. He defended his position by darting in and out like a mongoose and showed us his fast, viper-like techniques. Then he rattled off some news stories. And made hissing sounds before he left.
The Straight Men delivered a splendid bebop performance that unraveled into a violent and angry exchange, and then blossomed into a moving family reunion. You WISH your dysfunction was so well choreographed.
Becky Ciletti brought more wit than a Whitman's Sampler box of chocolates.
Luke returned, this time as Otis Perlman, an old Dixiecrat who was torn between voting for Obama and following his gut to discriminate.
Rob O'Reilly graced the stage once more with his own stand-up set and wowed the gals with his tales of suave hipsterosity. The gals with glasses and kitten heels.
The Funniest Comedian of All Time was none other than Becky Ciletti! She'll never have to shout to get attention again now that she has this eye-catching, flashy, fake zebra handbag. This bag lady's got style!
Hey Stud, come back and take a gander at our next set of stars performing on January 25th!
