Attics are supposed to be crowded, right?

We could tell you all about our great weekend at the Comedy Spot (and we were going to) but April Black put it so well that there's no reason to do anything more than copy what she had to say on Pamela's Punch. From our end, there's nothing like the energy of a full house, and when audience is sitting on the floor, well it's very attic-y, isn't it?

I don’t know about you, but the events that transpired in my attic growing up were not very funny (and usually involved lots of dust and bad Halloween costumes). On the contrary, the improv comedy troupe 5678 delivered quite a hilarious performance entitled “Things That Happen in Attics” at The Comedy Spot last weekend. Based on audience suggestions and dirty little secrets, this smart and spunky group delivered one hour of completely improvised comedy.

From inappropriate work conversations to ‘NSYNC’s sweet dance moves, 5678 was quick on their feet as they entertained a full house with ease. We were lucky enough to score front row seats before the theatre was overflowing with people looking for a laugh. Two goofy guys named Stewart Walsh and Chris Andersen opened for the troupe with a quirky little number called “Stewart & Chris: Fear of Love.” They even had a theme song.

While I would have been content watching 5678 for at least another hour, the show sadly ended and off we went to Chevy’s for some margaritas. Laughing burns calories, so we certainly earned them.

If your funny bone is aching, come see 5678 on Saturday, September 13th at the Bethesda Theatre (7719 Wisconsin Ave. – less than 2 blocks from the metro) for a one-night-only comedy show and art auction to benefit Luke’s Wings. Luke’s Wings is a local charity dedicated to the support of service members who have been wounded and provides families with the means to visit their loved ones at the Army Medical Center. 5-6-7-8 takes to the stage at 8pm followed by the art auction at 9:15pm. Oh, and don’t forget the open reception starting at 7pm. Purchase your tickets here now!

5678 loves our fabulous goddesses-who-blog, Pamela Sorensen & Chancy Legendre and they are loving us right back!

Anyone who knows anything about improv (which is pretty much anyone reading this) knows that we are nothing, NOTHING, without an audience. And without these amazing ladies behind us, our audience would be... Ryan's family, Tommy's fans, and everyone who went to college with David. Hmmm... now that we think about it, maybe the title of this post should've been "fan love."

So... From the top... 5678 loves our fabulous fans, and the people who help us meet more of them!
