a comedy show in five acts

the michael showalter show was AMAZING.  One of the funniest two hours of my life.  I was laughing the entire time, not that that's unusual for me.  Anyway, a few highlights:
Leo Allen's joke about the Korean war falling flat and asking if the entire audience was Korean war veterans with the sign for MacArthur mall right behind him through the window.
Michael Showalter fumbling with a music stand for a bit, James jumping up to help, and Showalter responding with "Who ARE you?" like James just performed a miracle.
Eugene Mirme playing "the ungame" with a poor, unsuspecting audience members.  (Questions included: "Finish this sentence: I feel lonely when . . ."  and "Describe your mate in three words.")

I loved the entire show.  It was weird and absurd and awesome, and I didn't expect anything less.
