Comedy Festering

Best of MY Fest

Well, no one's laughing now. Not because they're not interested in a good chuckle, of course; simply because the 8th annual funny fest is finished and all involved, from organizers to performers to audiences members, probably just need a nice long rest.

 
  • Saturday night’s ... well ... all right

    Maybe it was a simple case of -- as discussed pretty much to DEATH in earlier posts -- the choices made. As it was, my Saturday night at the comedy fest was a bunch of just OK that ended with a crescendo of hot-and-sweaty, unrepentently dark and dirty WOW.

  • Debaters 2: This time, it’s personal....

    I hate to miss a taping of The Debaters anytime anyway, because they’re so darned much fun, but Sunday afternoon’s wrap-up edition of this fest’s filibusterathon was a must-see for me because one of its topics hit quite close to home: Should we be sad that newspapers are disappearing?

  • There's just no debating it...

    Based on the fun level at Saturday afternoon's taping of The Debaters, I wish I could advise you to grab tickets for Sunday's follow-up session as quickly as you can.
