Hanukkah with Hot Sauce suitably Saucy
Mommy Claus came for Christmas and we decided that since it was also Hanukkah we would check out a comedy show at the Upright Citizens Brigade called "Hanukkah with Hot Sauce." For $10 bucks we were pretty sure we couldn't lose, especially since we are the kind of nerds that enjoy dissecting why things didn't work and why they weren't funny. So we headed down to the basement stage, roughly arranged as theater in a three-quarters round. Right away three cute Jewish dudes popped out in brightly colored pants (bonobos apparently, who knew). One of them actually had his real mother and grandmother on stage making latkes. Boy did they smell good- and taste great too! It was a pretty funny show. It had a higher concentration of wit than boy jokes- like Hanukkah songs, drunken mumblings and randomness- so it was quite enjoyable. The highlight for me was when a fake Mario Batali took a sip of Manishevitz and then sprayed it all over the audience in disgust. "Like a spoonful of sugar!" Quite funny, well paced, and visually appealing :)
