Kay Hight (left) and Ben Herrera played Esther Smith and her brother Lon. The casting for the lead parts was very good. Tyler Robinson had the perfect look, voice, and manner for John Truitt. Kay was perfect for this role, of course, and I loved the way Darryl Strohl not only played Head of the House Alonso Smith, but put Ben Herrera and the ensemble to work in the 'Banjo' number in Act 2, as well...

My wife’s Grandmother is 100 years old. She has a very weak heart, any sudden shock could be it, so every year we wrap her Christmas presents in Saran Wrap. I wrote and edited, worked in front of the mirror, went over and over bits as I drove to and from work. It had been a long odyssey of self-doubt and reaffirmation, but I thought I was in a place to pull it off. I should have sensed something...

Photo credit by Clive Barda & San Francisco Opera We love it when our friends visit other cities. And that's because they love telling us all about the amazing operas they saw! D.S. Spring and Diana Herbst spent last week in San Francisco and was at the opera. Three nights in a row! That's devotion. D.S. and Diana thoroughly enjoyed the San Francisco Opera and were literally blown away by both...
David Vitter, the very socially conservative Senator from Louisiana, was caught in the DC Madame scandal. What makes it even more ironic is that the prostitute spoke with the press and told them that the Senator insisted on wearing diapers to their sessions. Apparently, it’s still family values as long as you call the hooker “mommy.” But then it was as if my guardian angel was protecting...
More than ten years ago, the San Francisco Asian Art Museum, then still located in Golden Gate Park, hosted a retrospective of the work of Taiwanese master filmmaker Hou Hsiao-Hsien. I was preparing an extended trip abroad myself at the time, and missed the entire cycle, but upon my return I often heard Hou's name spoken in hushed tones by local moviegoers, and determined to seek his work out. I began...
"... with comedy!" Yes, that was the headline of the press release we received from Earl's office hyping his upcoming stand up comedy night . Apparently Oregon's Congressional representative hosts an annual comedy night, sharing the stage with other local politicians. But this year's event this Monday November 9th at the Tiffany Center downtown will have an extra bitter tinge to it, what...
51. When - Shania Twain (UK #18, Can #14) Her talky parts are often too akin to a line-dancing instructor, but this is her most straight-up, gimmick-free song and I would never have guessed at the comedy to come. 52. My Favourite Game - The Cardigans (UK #7, Swe #3, Nor #4) Nina’s beauty was a perfect match for the aloof adrenaline of a song I don’t think they have even tried to top since....
Brent Weinbach is Fucking Weird His set begins with choppy non sequiturs. He is slight. His demeanor, deadpan and detached somewhat a la Stephen Wright in seeming content not to relate or even to appear comfortable. Sometimes, more like Zach Galifianakis, he deliberately forces awkwardness upon the audience. His stage character is almost wholly without affectation. And fucking weird. But Brent Weinbach's...
A seemingly drunk David Hasselhoff took the stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) in Berlin and explained to the German people that he, in fact, was not responsible for bringing down that wall, East Germany was responsible because they loved freedom. It was exactly what you'd expect from a man of his stature and grace. WATCH: Get HuffPost Comedy On Facebook and Twitter! More on Funny Videos
