It has long been held as legend, on this side of the pond, that Americans have no sense of humour.
I am glad to announce that this is not true.
If you are looking for a Yank to make you smile, laugh and virtually soil yourself, go no further than "The Royal We". (Actually it is 5 yanks).
Their comedy sketch revue show, "Be All That You Can Buy", currently showing at The Gene Frankel Theatre, (Juvie Hall) is a joy to behold.
Combining a medley of jokes, visual comedy, music and short film, the show runs seamlessly from one sketch to another, leaving the audience without a pause for breath.
Each member of the cast adds his or her own personal touch, yet blends into different characters so easily that you can truly believe in who they are representing. An art truly rare in the comedy world.
A lot of the content is often very close to the bone but succeeds where many fail, by never crossing the thin line between funny and tasteless.
With their satirical views on everything from the War on Terror, to the current phenomenon of pre-teen paedo-pop idols, the observations are perfect, giving the viewer something to think about as well as to laugh at.
Constantly switching between almost obscurely subtle comedy, to slapping you around the face, (With a used condom, no less),the audience is kept involved from start to finish, with exceptionally pleasing results.
Highlights include a visit by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, "The Outsourcerer" and the startlingly accurate Cherry Pop, (Was it wrong that I thought she was hot?).
This group seem to have the ability to translate what most people are thinking, into sketches that make you laugh out loud. If this is a yardstick of the quality of their other work, we will all soon be seeing them in other mediums.
Truly the highlight of my weekend visiting New York City. See this group whenever or wherever you can.
Dave Groves.

A little harsh Caul, my photographic skills are not the best and as I said earlier, the light was not the best.

Davros my sweet, I am pretty sure he is referring to me, not you. It is my opinion that Caul needs to go and get himself good and laid. Then perhaps he'd be in a much better mood.
I hope he isn't referring to me, as I don't appear in the photo. Plus I only wear makeup in the privacy of my own home.
Actually, please disregard that last comment.

Davros my sweet, I was referring to TigerLilly, not you. It is my opinion that clown make up does not render a woman beautiful. And I don't see how stating an opinion on a website which sole purpose is to do exactly that is harsh or linked with mood.
I accept what you say 100% Caul, I just feel that if you met the said lady in question you would see that the photograph is not particularly flattering, caused by the light in the building and my poor photographic skills.
I assure you that she is a very beautiful woman and a fantastic person to boot.
Thanks for the reviews (and calling me "sweet"), I appreciate it.

Lighten that up and it would make a great picture.
woooo Uberers in NY! w000000t!
Yes, Willzone's show had me laughing hysterically.
I tried to lighten it and everyone came out with a kind of spectral glow.
I guess I just got to accept that the place was quite a dark venue so that is what you get.

I believe that I just might be drunk in that picture.
I should hope so, everyone else was.

Obviously he's fucking huge, but I'd like to fight 1.21 just for shits and giggles. He reminds me of my little brother. Now, can you pick who fell into makeup?
I would buy a ticket to see that one.
