Comedy: September 2008 Archives

Belgium is a beautiful country. It brings us chocolate, freedom fries, waffles, and a weird molecule sculpture. It brings us the intoxicating idea of the European Union, and the even more intoxicating beverage known as beer. We had the opportunity to savor the incredibly diverse and complex varieties of beer at Saturday’s little Belgium-in-Boston, Beer Advocate’s Belgian Beer Festival. Fangela's tasting partner in crime on this whirlwind tour of Belgian beverages is the semi-anonymous N., a nice atheist boy she met at church (Mr.......

10:36: Conclusion. 10:35: Mutual disses/closing statements begin. But where is the end? 10:34: Greta the Wundercat displays more interest in the debates than do the humans in the room. Kittah paws the television, the Bostonists do not. 10:32: Everybody hates on George W. Bush. Including the present Bostonists. 10:28: The Bostonists experience 9/11 shock and awe fatigue. For several years now. 10:26: First mention of 9/11. Again, what took them so long! 10:25: The network busts out the split screen, so we can see the candidates snicker at one another while the other tries to......

Despite a nefarious MBTA plot designed to keep us from attending the event, Bostonist was in the press row (i.e., the way back) for Friday’s semifinals of the Boston Comedy Festival at the Hard Rock Café. For the 7:00 show, the crowd appeared a bit slow to warm up during the first four performances, but once Jessi Campbell began to discuss her more and more feverish attempts to get out of speeding tickets, the evening began in full force. The three remaining contestants, Andy Peters,

An animal alleged to be Loch Ness Monster was spotted by a group on a Boston Duck Tour yesterday. An observer of the incident provided the following drawing of the encounter. An area paleontologist, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told the Bostonist in an exclusive interview that, "the positioning of the flippers, combined with the angle of the jawbone, leads me to believe that the creature represented in the meticulously executed, true-to-life drawing is most likely Nessiteras rhombopteryx. However," she added, "I would need to see the......

Comedian/actor/host Joe Rogan performs at The Wilbur Theater on Friday, September 12th. If you can't make his show in Boston, he plays two shows in Chicopee on Saturday. Most people know Rogan from his TV work: his part as Joe Garelli on "NewsRadio" with Phil Hartman, hosting "Fear Factor", "The Man Show", and commentating on Ultimate Fighting Champoinships (Rogan himself was the Massachusetts full contact Tae Kwon Do champion for four consecutive years). Rogan was raised in Revere, MA so this show at......

Fangela has had quite enough news about the New England Patriots' linebacker Tom Brady's torn ACL from NPR during her morning and afternoon commute, thank you very much. And because WBUR's recent focus on "local programming" basically translates to "recycling the same news a whole lot," they'll make sure to update us every ten minutes on the lack of a change in status in the ACL tomorrow. That is, if the world still exists tomorrow. Like, can we have some apocalypse in the local media,......

Bella Luna's most excellent Boston Blogger's Event blew Fangela Fangula away with their amazingly tasty samples of food. Afterwards, some choice Bostonist bloggers, along with Joanne McNeil of Tomorrow Museum went downstairs to the lanes. The food probably won't be free again, for you or anybody else, but you get can bowl at the Milky Way Lounge and Lanes for free on Monday nights! So, have a yummy dinner upstairs at Bella Luna, and then go down a level for some bowling....
