This week we have entirely new rent party with entirely new material and guests. If you’ve never been or missed last weeks show, here’s a quick video I took from my flip-camera of the Lakewood Manor Players doing their hit song “What Happens on the Clark Street Stays on the Facebook”:

This Friday, 4/10 – the Rent Party returns to the Gallery Cabaret, 2020 N. Oakley, 9PM Show, $10 Door, $2.50 Drinks, $0 Food. Chances are good you’re gonna get lucky.

Today, we’re gonna tell you about a sketch comedy group – Lakewood Manor Players.

Born in 2005, they setup a home for improvisers who – oh screw it. Here’s the copy from their site:

The Players began much like the first twenty minutes of “The Goonies”, a wily pack of misfits trying to discover comedic gold and save their parents poor real estate foresight, each equipped with their own quirky personality trait.

They were brought to our attention with the meteoric hit that has sold millions on iTunes – “What Happens on Clark Street Stays on the Facebook.”

We look forward to them sharing the stage with Schadenfreude’s Meathead-in-Residence, Todd Voorhies.  In the meantime - get to know them!

Come on out – it’s your job to help the Economy.  Obama said so.  And we know you voted for him.

I happened to be there not once, but twice this weekend and and Oh My Lord, I do not recommend it. I hadn’t been there on a Friday or Saturday night in a loooong time and it was unbelievable. It’s like being in bizarro version of a Michigan State game day meets Daytona Beach Spring Break meets puking. There was the quintessential drunk girl who fell flat on her face into traffic and lost her shoe. Then there was her drunk friend who fell on top of her trying to help her up. They both had tube top dresses on, and I’m pretty sure I saw a nipple. I navigated 4 puddles of vomit and one guy I was with saw 3 fist fights on his walk along Clark street between Newport & Addison. Suggestion for Mayor Daley: Put a big invisible fence around the area on the weekends keeping everyone contained. If they try to wander north outside of the Addison to Newport or Seminary to Sheffield parameters, their belly button rings give them a nice little shock.
