Show 19: Chips and Dips

Stop what you're doin', 'cause I'm about to ruin the Living and the Room that you're used to.
How's this for a hot line-up, Son?
Carolyn Castiglia
Josh Filipowski
Abbi Crutchfield
Emily Epstein
Elon James White
Nick Cobb
Our last show was amazing and jam-packed with rap-tastic videos, political improv, and Emo ramblings. The party started with two-time F-CAT* award-winner Carolyn Castiglia as hostess (not the snack cake, she clarified, but girlfriend does look delicious in pink)!

Abbi Crutchfield stepped up to preach sneezing etiquette. Sayeth the Good Book: Thou shalt not say bless you in an unfriendly manner. But not too friendly either, Perv.
Celebrity Sighting! NYC writer/producer Nichelle Stephens swung by to support her friends and see what all the hub-bub is about. She got her fair share of hub (Carolyn's) and Bub (a beatbox sound) during the Living Room's debut of a hot new music video.

Are you ready to take it to the toppy-toppy-tip? We all were witness to the mad skillz of Miss CKC, Badlands Booker, Baron Vaughn, Matt "Illiam Phatner" Sears and Shockwave in this collaborative effort rap video "I Can't Stop (Chips)". Live it again, for the first time.


Josh Filipowski brought energy and seven more inches to the stage (inches of height! Bro-ham is tall) and shared the dangers of telephonic Russian Roulette.

All the way from Washington, D.C., both George W. Bush and Condoleezza Rice made their second appearances on the show. This time as improv troupe Freedom Force Five.

We learned of the charitable contributions of the effervescent Emily Eptsein (aliteration abounds!)

...and experienced the charity case that is Elon James White. Awww, just keeding, Elon thoughtfully made a surprise visit, and the room rumbled with E-lation.

Success, business, marriage...what does it matter to an aspiring Emo musician from a broken home? Nothing at all. That's according to Jude Pungent who wimpered and whined his way through the news.

Big shot/hot shot/army cot/tater tot Nick Cobb headlined to cap off a superior night of live comedy.

He returned for his third attempt at the F-CAT award, but tonight, one Josh Filipowski was dubbed the Funniest Comedian of All Time! Oh Hat of Chance, you are tough but fair. Josh doesn't need any help maintaining a positive attitude, but now he can graduate to motivational speaker with the help of Healthy Pleasures.

This lucky audience member had a belly full of laughs and won a belly full of yummy burrito-- a gift certificate of dinner for two at the muy splendida Rachel's Taqueria in Park Slope! One of these red-headed women is her cousin.

Come back in April and learn how to ward off evil spirits at our second Friday the 13th Spooktacular!
*Funniest Comedian of All Time (or Fiercest Corn Arepas Taster, if you're working the Kraft services table on America's Next Top Model).
