My Last Monkeys Show Gets Great Review
From the current issue of Pitch Weekly:
Monkeys With Hand Grenades Last month's Year in Review show featured these
Monkeys at their best, flying high like those little purple bastards in The
Wizard of Oz as they did their 30-sketches-in-60-minutes shtick. We laughed so
hard at Nick Rigoli and Megan Mercer that we dislodged all the phlegm built up
in our throats. Rigoli's parody of bad sci-fi was trenchant, hysterical
geek-culture criticism, and Mercer's miming twice brought the house down: first,
trying on too-tight pants, then performing fellatio on some dude hung like the
state of Florida. 10 p.m. Saturday at Comedy City, 300 Charlotte, 816-842-2744.
A redemption review! I'm glad we've gotten back in the Pitch's good graces.
Congrats everyone. I'll miss you guys!

It was nice to read that in the Pitch last week. It was even nicer to hear it come from Josh, Kim, and Amy's mouths (they were on a double date that evening) before Alan had written anything. It's too bad you weren't around for the February Monkeys show as it had some very strong material. Sadly, it was often marred by the crap that unfortunately made it in because someone can't recognize genius. Oh well, what are you gonna do?

Great review. I've got to get down there to see the show sometime.
P.S. You should update us on your moving plans.
