April 8-9 is a variety weekend in our lounge showroom, so it's time to crank up the hype machine ...

Stand-out local stand-ups Matt Deakins and Bria Beddoe call in before competing in Comedy Kumite 33 on April 8. We're talking about whatever gets their competitive juices flowing.

Plus we've got free audio sketches from High Dramma and Brick Penguin, the two troupes featured April 9 when Bad Medicine presents sketch night.
