Trixie and Monkey: Flipping and Stripping

No Comments 21 February 2013

‘Call it role play at home’, Trixie Little announces, ‘but what we do on stage is different.’ On stage she’s elaborately costumed, as is her assistant, the Evil hate monkey.

Pat Burtscher’s Breaking Even

No Comments 29 January 2013

Pat Burtscher doesn’t want to be in the red anymore, and Breaking Even is his shot at a comedy hour that doesn’t leave him in debt simply for his love of telling jokes. It’s also an honest, off-kilter and solidly hilarious presentation of unique solutions to the problems of the world, from an energetic and […]
