Show 20: Friday the 13th Spooktacular des Femmes


Alternative title: Luck Be a Lady Tonight!

It's ladies night, and the feeling's right...so who better to kick off the evening than a man with the hairstyle of Tatum O'Neal in the Bad News Bears?

Luke Thayer led the lineup as host and captivated another full house!

Our brave crowd chose to press their luck and put superstition aside this dark and cloudy Friday the 13th! They were not disappointed as the night rolled in the talent of:
Lang Fisher
Del
Robin Cloud
Becky Ciletti and
a sketch by Delusions of Spandex


Lightning struck twice as Lang Fisher made her second appearance on a Friday the 13th show! The odds were excellent that she’d give another solid set, and it tickled us pink. Then she turned into a toad and hopped away.

America’s least shocking shock jock Honest Warrd came out to support his fallen hero Don Imus. He tried his best to offend as many groups as he could, but in the end it was his plug for his advertiser that proved the most appalling.

Embracing her new neighborhood, Del reminisced about the horrors of her old one. Her musings on the evolution of bodies led to an impromptu booty-off with one of the Postmark staff. YES!

The blondest bombshell Connecticut has to offer, Marsha Peterson swung by to give her two cents about the latest current events. Then to prove she’s not out of touch with society, she left to hand the rest of her cents to “the poor people who eat at McDonalds.”


It was time for the no-nonsense wit of Jerri Beige, a bus driver with more sass than a mess of school kids. She shared her wisdom on race relations, and the room’s interracial couples were better for it.

Don’t cry for her unless you want to make out…Becky Ciletti is back, this time with a helpful visual to demonstrate her dating angst.

We closed the show with Phaea Crede and Becca Jones who comprised our first ever guest sketch troupe, Delusions of Spandex! Hey gals! Want a mascara that will last as long as your self-esteem in a high pressure environment? Then get hip to their new product!




The Hat of Chance selected Robin Cloud as the new Funniest Comedian of All Time! After a very emotional trip to the stage, she proudly accepted two tickets to see Donald Trump Live in November 2006 (time machine not included)!

From the Golden Box of Knowledge we picked the night’s Audience Trivia Question. One man knew the answer and took home FIVE delicious meals from Willie’s! He’s a regular at the show, so we’re glad to see a fan’s dedication pay off.

There was more trivia we didn’t get to read, so we're going to post the funniest questions here some day so you can laugh at them properly. We have more of EVERYTHING in store for the next show on April 27th. That’s a month before Abbi’s birthday. Celebrations, y’all! See you there!

Show 9: Friday the 13th Spooktacular

CRASH! What was that? Why it's the sound of a mirror breaking--from laughing too hard at our ninth show a.k.a. the Friday the 13th Spooktacular MWAHAHAHA! What a rough night for our hostess. Poor Abbi...as if being trampled on the subway weren't bad enough, she later suffered from E.Coli-induced stomach cramping, a hump back, a unibrow, and lost her coveted break-out role to Angelina Jolie! Ever the trooper, she adamantly refused to believe in bad luck. Then she died.


We had a great line-up of brave souls, a great crowd, and nary a black cat in the room. Performing before the lucky, upside-down Living Room sign were:
Nick Turner,
Lang Fisher,
Laura Mannino and
Matt McCarthy!


Nick busted out of the gate with plenty of energy and helped us ward off evil spirits with raucous laughter. Lang followed with hilarious (yet disturbing) anec dotes on mother-daughter bonding.


Like seconds on dessert, Laura's second time at the show was tastier than the first. She even gave us all a tip on smart-shopping for costumes this Halloween...

...and Tom Jones swung his pelvis like a weather vane to deliver the weekend meteorology report.

On his Confession Tour '06, Mark Foley read the news and foresaw the consequences of the sinners there within.

Speaking of repeat offenders, Matt McCarthy came back for his second appearance on the show! With his wicked Nosferatu fingers, he singled out various audience members until they howled with laughter (the full moon helped), riffing on European pop hits and scary movie contradictions.




Every audience member got a prize for daring to come to the show on this most doomed of autumn evenings. But only ONE person walked away as the Funniest Comedian of All Time, and that genius was Lang Fisher!



Maybe her prize will give her a hint at a Halloween costume to wear to our HALLOWEEN SCARE-AVAGANZA on October 27th. Everyone is invited to dress up, and we'll have even more fun in store...



Do come. It will be a SCREAM! (What? These guys think it's funny.)
