While Gold Glove Youkilis shaved his goatee for charity tonight, the funnymen at ImprovBoston are getting into the spirit of Movember (Moustache Month) with a growing season of their own. Bostonist commemorates their valiant attempts to grow mustaches for charity--or at least hilarity (see how that rhymed? do you SEE?!). Though the Improv team started their mustache-growing season a little bit early (on October 18), this means their hirsute results will simply be that much more impressive.

But they don't get to shave on December 1--no, in (an excusable) violation of the rules of Movember, these brave souls will continue to cultivate their 'staches as long as the people of Boston continue to donate to the cause of comedy. So head on over to the ImprovBoston website to select a 'stache and donate in the interest of continuing creative comedy in the city for months (well, hopefully years) to come.
