New PRESS Release

New Interactive Musical Comedy Hits Off Broadway

Laughing My Ankles Off, a new interactive musical comedy is now open to tickle your funny bone.

Now running off-Broadway this musical comedy has a lot to offer to its audiences. Experienced stage artists, leaving no stone unturned, make the shows ridiculously hilarious for all ages.

LMAO features the cast of Walt Frasier, Spero Chumas, and Laurice Fattal. LMAO ensures frequent appearances of many guest artists who can knock people off their seats. Recent guests include Charles Murray (Dreamgirls on Broadway) and Lee Markham (Altar Boys).

“Every audience is unique. No two shows alike.”
- Laurice Fattal, Cast Member

Now, what the audience will actually get to see when they are here can’t be told now because the subject matter changes everyday. The improvised skits and musicals, based on today’s burning issues, are completely unique and can range from totally silly to witty humor. No politician, author or celebrity would be able to escape the notoriety of the performers who are known to provoke uncontrollable laughter from the audience.

Recent shows have included spoofs - often presented in song - of Dexter, ICarly, Family guy, American Idol, Twilight, Harry Potter, Tiger Woods and a lot more. Music combined with humor can be a deadly combination so enter at your own risk.

LMAO (www.lmao-nyc.com) currently runs off-Broadway the Midtown Theater (163 West 46th Street, NY NY 10036) in the heart of Times Square.

One Big Ass MIstake America = OBAMA?

Just got a weird FB spam promoting O.B.A.M.A. "One Big Ass Mistake America" Seriously, do the rantings of extremist nuts ever help? Or hurt? I think the illusion is that McCain/Palin would be any better. Would Kerry been better than Bush? Gore? I am sure plenty would have prefer ed 4 more years for Bush Sr or a Robert Dole presidency.

Maybe Obama is not a great President. Perhaps he likes the sound of his voice way too much. Perhaps he does little to scare off our enemies. And even less to truly fix the problems within our borders. Does that mean he is a mistake?

NO.

He is a wake up call. As is this whole mess we are all in together. A wake up call that our President can do very little to help our day to day existence. He can do little to fix our problems. The only one that can fix your problems is you. If we made a mistake, lets fix it in November.

The biggest mistake any American ever made is voting Party line. Republicans made just as many mistakes when they ran the whole show. Fortunately, the Democrats were too disorganized with in-party power struggles and ego trips to manage to accomplish anything that will destroy our lives further.

In the late 90s both Republican Congress and Bill Clinton took credit for all of our "successes". So blame them both for the inflated stock markets that led to the crash. Blame them for false sense of security and wealth that led to many over spending.

What is the point? There is always someone better. There is always someone worse. These days it is almost impossible to tell until it is too late. At the end of the day, we need to exercise our right to vote. When in doubt vote out the incumbent.

Do we need experience? Yes.
Do we need dinosaurs running the world? No.
Do we need action? Perhaps.

Good laws do not need a filibuster proof Senate to pass. Good laws get passed. Read previous blog and tell me you trust anyone in government.

Note to politicians:
Read previous blog and tell me you expect us to trust anyone in government.
Be honorable.
Represent our needs not your own personal ambition.
These days we find out almost everything so think before you act stupid
