Your last change to laugh — ever!

Posted by John Stoehr on Sat, Jan 19, 2008 at 11:32 AM

Tonight is the final night of the 2008 Charleston Comedy Festival. If you haven't been out by now to see some of these terrific acts, don't worry. There's plenty of tickets left. Go here to find out more. Meanwhile, I had a chance to see The Apple Sisters Variety Show, Hot Sauce, DCUP's The Simons and a teenzy little bit of the end of Murder, She Wrote, by Atlanta's Dad's Garage. All of them were worthy of seeing more than once. And indeed you can do just that. They're all performing again tonight. Personally, I liked the Apple Sisters so much, I might see them again if I weren't going to miss so much other topnotch comedy.

Edward Hart sent me an email note, regarding my blog post: "I wanted to address one of your questions - 'but what I really want to know is, will the audience get to drink the wine too.' "Actually the answer is - yes, but not this time. The same concert will take place during Piccolo and will be held at the Addelstone Library. During that performance, the audience WILL be drinking wine before each movement. In fact, I'm bringing along Debbie Marlowe, owner of the Wine Shop at the City Marina, to discuss each particular vintage prior to my 'wine specific' music. Just thought you might want to know." Cool, huh?
