This was the last show before Abbi and Luke got hitched! They bid singledom adieu with a little help from their friends.

Host of Honor Josh Homer introduced the following lineup:
Ryan Hamilton
Joselyn Hughes
Sean Patton
Abbi Crutchfield

With special guest appearances by marriage coach Jay Jordan Gilbert and underground blogger Danny Kaye-Ward with the news.


Abbi and Luke welcomed viewers to the fifty-sixth show and pondered what their marriage would mean for their working relationship. Things could be different. Or exactly the same.


Josh Homer returned as host and this time as a new dad! He talked about how much he hates the Tyra Banks show. It's a Mr. Mom thing.


Ryan Hamilton was back from the road to tell tales of how being from Idaho confuses people. Mainly people not from Idaho.


Man of Many Hats that he is, Harry Terjanian visited, this time as Christopher Walken who analyzed the myriad impersonations of himself in an oh-so-important PSA.


Joselyn Hughes had everyone's attention as she spoke about holiday party bloopers and run-ins with shady characters proving that every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings...and a girl gets hit on.


The Living Room was proud to welcome Sean Patton for his debut! He captivated us with the message of the era: Broke pimpin’ ain’t easy.


Snarky blogger Danny Kaye-Ward wouldn't let you hear the news without putting down all the celebrities that weren't in it first.


Grinning with no idea of what she was getting herself into, Abbi Crutchfield gave her last performance as a single woman and talked about--what else?--being engaged.


Right on Abbi's heels to correct her of all her misconceptions about matrimony was Jay Jordan Gilbert, the married counselor who has never been married.


The Funniest Comedian of All Time this episode was noneother than Ryan Hamilton! Ryan will never have a dull moment thanks to his bunny blow darts and fart putty.

Enjoy your pastel-colored candy-coated almonds wrapped in tulle and then come see us for our wedded return on May 8th!

Show 52: Anti-Valentine's Day Show!

A holiday that makes people feel guilty stinks! So we decided to joke about it. Forget sweet nothings--the walls were adorned with mean somethings; candy hearts with all the messages you've been itching to give your admirer.

Host of Honor Dan Fontaine introduced the following bitter lineup:
Abbi Crutchfield
Jena Friedman
Barry Rothbart
Helen Hong
a sketch by Camp Wayne

With special guest appearances by Joaquin Phoenix and Bradley Winford, Crisis-Survivor!


Abbi and Luke welcomed viewers to the fifty-second show by temporarily calling off their engagement.


Dan Fontaine kicked off the show exploring unconventional names and the noisy kids that live above him.


Abbi Crutchfield took an uncomfortable walk down memory lane, telling a story of heartache in France, which gave new meaning to the term Les Miserables.


Jena Friedman confessed to being unlucky in love as early as the second grade. Kids can be so cruel. Especially when they grow up to be comedians.


As if he hadn't cause enough of a stir on The Late Show with David Letterman, Joaquin Phoenix stopped by to add more awkward pauses to live comedy shows.


Barry Rothbart popped in for a guest spot to teach us lessons in love from strangers and the crappy gifts they yield.


Bradley Winford, survivor of the miraculous flight 1549, came to relive his ordeal and sweep your leg.


Helen Hong returned to the show to speak on the trials and tribulations of online dating. And the bland doctors that lurk behind attractive profiles.

Josh Sankey and Jacob Mustian of Camp Wayne closed the show with a sketch about one man's love (and another man's fear) for Mrs. Butterworth.



The Hat of Chance is not picky about who it dates but definitely gives careful consideration to The Funniest Comedian of All Time. Jena Friedman was the winner! She can take stalking to a new level with this photo calendar of a random family's memories.

Forget your own problems, and get ready to relish celebrity anxiety from the Oscars at our next show February 27th!
