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)
212.757.4100
Great job guys!

Show 36: Spitzer? I Hardly Know 'Er!
Photography by Aemiessence Fine Arts
You say the Governor's scandal is the only thing that has kept you entertained for the past week? Well it's a good thing you came to The Living Room to cleanse yourself of betrayal and enjoy a night of hilarity.
Jeff Cerulli hosted this stellar lineup:
Elon James White
EFS
Charlie Kasov
Abbi Crutchfield
Joselyn Hughes
Matt Daly
with "special" guest Lionel and the news by Andrew Warshack, artist/inventor of Warshack tests!
Before presenting the host, Abbi and Luke got into it over whether or not it is okay to solicit prostitutes. Luke: nay, Abbi: a-okay. Hell frozen over or a sneaky game of reverse-psychology? Stay tuned...
Jeff Cerulli kicked off the show with his issues with babies. Nothing against them. Just refuses to have contact with them. Bacheloriffic!
Elon James White popped in to rehearse for a Montreal Audition. We hope he remembers to include ad-libs about us in Canada.
EFS gave a super show on very little sleep. We haven't seen stamina this since Abbi finished an entire bowl of generic Grape-Nuts.
Lionel wandered in to recount his conviction of having seen a space monkey.
Charlie Kasov had a splendid set matching international politics with inter-neighborhood gentrification.
Abbi Crutchfield hit the scene to lament a middle-class upbringing of healthy cereals mixed with Saturday morning cartoons.
Artist-slash-inventor, Andrew Warshack posted his Warshack blot tests on the wall and showed how each depicted a current event. Love him! Want him! Need him!
Joselyn Hughes showed off her new 'do and contemplated the worst pick-up lines she has ever heard.
Show stopper Matt Daly rocked the mic as the closer, or as he puts it, "the Kevin Bacon's wife of the show".
The Hat of Chance decidedly selected Charlie Kasov to receive the Funniest Comedian of All Time award! He went home with a free bagel and a Warshack test autographed by Abbi and Luke.
Testing his open relationship, Luke announced that he would be visiting a strip club after the show. Abbi promptly dumped him.
Bring your ink blots to our next show March 28th and we'll analyze your laugh potential!

Show 35: Snow Big Deal
Photography by Aemiessence Fine Arts.
We had a supreme turnout for our second show in February, and not even six inches of snow could keep people from wanting to come and laugh.
Keith Alberstadt hosted this cozy lineup:
Barry Rothbart
Luke Thayer
Cody Hess
Gilad Foss
Giulia Rozzi
with special guests Kerry True and Amy Winehouse!
A frantic and snow-covered Abbi interrupted Luke's welcome to the audience. She thought the show was going to be cancelled for the weather. When Luke informed her of the contrary she scurried off to think of something to perform. Did she make it back in time to deliver?
Keith kicked off the show reminiscing about his buddy that causes trouble in airports, and the response was as delicous as a packet of peanuts.
Barry Rothbart shared some bed advice, not to be confused with bedroom advice, but we're sure he has some of that too.
Earth-fanatic Kerry True came to share her three words of advice in loving your planet: recycle, conserve water, and brush your teeth with clay.
Luke took the reigns, or podium we should say, to discuss growing up in The Church.
Cody Hess melded physics with anthropology to make the crowd laugh. And think. And laugh some more.
They told her she'd get out of rehab by doing our show SHOW SHOW. British singing sensation Amy Winehouse rolled through with a bottle of mouthwash ("the free minty drink from my hotel room") to tell us how she's making over her image. We think it's working.
Gilad Foss discussed politicians, family, co-workers and a fascination with jeans. On those people.
Giulia Rozzi gave everybody great self-defense tips. If you're ever trying to impress your attacker.
The Hat of Chance selected Gilad Foss as the Funniest Comedian of All Time! His Christmas tree lamp should look lovely next to the Menorah.
Bring your friends to the next show March 14th before Keith turns all ape on your face. WHAT.

Show 34: Alive and Kickin'
Photography by Aemiessence Fine Arts
The flu is going around, and Abbi Crutchfield was punched in the stomach by demons right before the show, but the doctor ordered laughter (without a prescription), and Sara Schaefer came to the rescue to host the following extraordinary lineup:
Abbi Crutchfield
Diana Saez
Mike Dobbins
Brendan Fitzgibbons
with Special Guests Tony Francione, sports radio guru, and D. B. Westchester of the Bull Moose party.
Sara Schaefer got the ball rolling with sisterhood strife.
Abbi Crutchfield quit doubling over in pain and made the crowd double over with laughter as she spoke on the reason her clothes don't match.
Diana Saez taught us the joys of marriage.
What is this, Ladies Night? Ah, here's a little testosterone--make that a lot. Luke Thayer's chest hair came on the scene as Tony Francione, sports radio guru. He got choked up occasionally discussing difficult issues, like how Amazin' dem Mets are.
Mike Dobbins took the stage to get situated and then had a ball discussing his irregular diet.
Luke returned as D.B. Westchester, of the Bull Moose Party, urging people to vote yes on a cotton gin tax before we run completely out of oak battleships.
Brendan Fitzgibbons popped in for a guest spot and cracked up visiting comedian Dave Lester.
Erin and Her Cello closed the show with memorable numbers about such daily dilemmas as hand hygiene and alcoholism.
Her strumming earned her the Funniest Comedian of All Time award!
She took home a classic "Jesus Is My Coach" figurine.
Bring your best bud to our next show February 22nd!
