Show 53: Award-Winners
Photography by Aemiessence Fine Arts
Nothing but the stars on this post-Oscar show!
Host of Honor J-L Cauvin introduced the following lineup:
Isaac Landfert
Phil Murphy
Baratunde Thurston
Luke Thayer
Katina Corrao
With special guest appearances by Halle Berry and singer M.I.A. with the news.
Abbi and Luke welcomed viewers to the 53rd show by reminding viewers they are getting married in 2 months! Then they fought over whose name Abbi will take. She likes "Depp" or "Diggs".
Back for his fifth visit to the show, J-L Cauvin is no stranger to celebrity-life. He's already been on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson!
Isaac Landfert made his debut on the show and discussed life as he makes his way toward 30. Just a baby in movie producer years.
Academy Award-winner Halle Berry made a public service announcement about injustice in the world, including Mickey Rourke's missing Oscar.
Phil Murphy celebrated his first time on the show, discussing sports and the people who are obsessed with them.
The Onion's Baratunde Thurston rallied the crowd with tales and slides of his experience on CNN.
Did somebody say awards show? The woman who rocked the Grammy's with her pregnant-bellied rap came on our show to give us her postpartum take on the current events.
Don't take it personally Tommy Lee Jones, but Luke Thayer says old people have no purpose at the gym. No Country for Old Men reference, one year later!
Katina Corrao knows all about major events, and shared with us her wacky Convention Center antics.
Isaac Landfert became the Funniest Comedian of All Time! He'll have no trouble singing the blues with these colorful plastic harmonicas. Jam on!
Spring is marching in like a lion, so come help us tame it at our next show March 13th!

Show 45: The Great Debate
Photography by Aemiessence Fine Arts
It was a toss-up: watch the presidential debates on television or view live comedy and experience some of the great orators of our time! Fortunately we had a wise audience.
Host of Honor Emily Epstein introduced the following lineup:
Kyle Grooms
Ryan Conner
Phil Kessell
Wil Sylvince
Matt Ruby
Matt McCarthy
Luke Thayer
With a special comedy short and news segment by Abbi Crutchfield.
Something was missing this week as Luke welcomed the crowd to the forty-fifth show alone. Luckily Abbi was able to make some appearances via satellite, and our lineup of great comics helped ease the pain of not having the founding mother of Living Room comedy in the house.
Emily Epstein had to dig deep and use all her womanliness to balance out the unusually high level of testosterone on the lineup.
Unfortunately, Abbi was under the weather and had to deliver the news from home, as she was quarantined. Dollitis is a terrible thing to catch.
Kyle Grooms was preaching to the Park Slope choir and making them double over with laughs using his dead-on Barack Obama impression.
Ryan Conner let us know that living in The Garden State is not all roses.
Phil Kessell made his stand-up debut. Many of you have seen him helping out around The Living Room. Now you got to see him be funny!
Wil Sylvince showed us all why he's one of New York's hottest comics by keeping the crowd in stitches and capping it off with a little super hero action.
For the love of crazy names, The Living Room presented a comedy short about a conversation overheard in an L.A. Daycare. Click here to watch the video on youtube!
Matt Ruby hipped us on the musical side of comedy. Make sure you ask him how his is like jazz.
Matt McCarthy popped in to tell us the dangers of buying comic books on the streets.
Luke capped the night off with a talk about politics. He may not know much, but at least he knows he's right.
He did it again folks! Matt McCarthy walked away with the grandest of all comedic awards: The Funniest Comedian of All Time!
This is his fourth or fifth, and it's getting ridiculous. So he gets a pair of old flip-flops.
Fall is here! Be sure to put on a sweater before our next show Friday, October 10th!
Also watch for Abbi on the 2008 VH1 Hip Hop Honors!

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!

Show 24: One Year of Living it Up!
Yourbabytoday.com seems to know our show through and through. Just look at the accurate interpretation they drew after viewing our One Year Anniversary!
Take time to pull out the photo albums and review the miraculous changes you've witnessed in your [show] this past year. Incredible! Most important, revel in all [The Living Room] can do as she celebrates her first year. [Living Room] has a delightful sense of humor, and she takes great pleasure in teasing [blog readers]. She loves to [create memorable characters], and she most likely has mastered the art of [delivering laughs] and [showcasing talent]. What a great year it's been -- and what an amazing adventure your [audience attendance] has [elicited]!
Milestones(italicized):
Your [host] now drinks from a cup without assistance.
Jeff Cerulli served up a stellar standup set as well as his very own short film called Sausage Party! Talk about doing fings AW by heem suff!
He then ushered on the tremendous excellence of
Luke Thayer
Keith Alberstadt
Carolyn Castiglia
Nick Cobb
Jiwon Li
Matt McCarthy and
Perv Griffin!
[Abbi] engages in gibberish conversation.
In a public service announcement, a crazy subway lady with her underpants on the outside taught us not to waste half-eaten yogurt we find on the seats. It may taste like cigarettes, but it's a free snack!
In a fit of guilt, Abbi removed her wig
and revealed that she and Luke create all characters based on their own personal problems. It was a healing moment for everyone.
[A co-producer]can stand alone for several minutes.
Luke Thayer kept the crowd laughing with his solid stand-up, or lean-forward as it's becoming these days.
[Keith] expresses his wants with gestures and words instead of cries.
And oh what words! Mr. Alberstadt delivered hilarity in the form of wildlife information and fun facts about his mother's cat.
The sketch troupe Perv Griffin had an extraordinary debut with lessons on avoiding a mugging, hiding a head in your fridge and splitting rent with a Roman emporer.
[The show has an honorary] "mama" and "dada."
Living Room regulars Carolyn Castiglia and Nick kept things popping with their witty commentary and Dominoes delivery.
[Your special guest] says one-syllable words.
Commenting on the newsworthy topics, mystery novelist Lucinda Wentworth-James spoke few words and insinuated much. She couldn't help but be suspicious of the potential for a murderous plot in the minds of Paris Hilton, George W. Bush and the cast of Grey's Anatomy.
[Jiwon] waves good-bye.
Jiwon Li celebrates the beauty of being single and the woe that it brings when announced to your parents.
[Matt] walks well.
Matt McCarthy is looking trim and saucy now that he's sworn off alchohol. He skipped and jigged his way to a masterful closing of a fun show
[Nick] responds to simple commands.
Nick Cobb couldn't believe his ears when he learned the Hat of Chance selected him as the Funniest Comedian of All Time, but after much persuasion, he finally came on stage. You see, Nick hasn't won ever. He was the first person to subscribe to our blog on myspace, he kills every time he comes, and yet, the Hat was always cold to him. As a warm pardon, he took home a beautiful, expensive, fragrant (albeit used) candle!
You light up our life, Nick!
This lucky guy took home a delicious, hot pizza from Albanese Pizzeria!
If you're bummed you missed this amazing anniversary, your last chance for fun will be at our Summer Blowout on June 22nd! We're taking a break until September after that, so come see what L Magazine's givin' props about!
