The LFK comedy scene doesn't always get much attention, on this blog or elsewhere, so we wanted to make sure and feature two worthy events this Thursday, March 7 at the Jazzhaus (yes, at the Jazzhaus) and Friday, March 8 at Frank's. (NOTE: the flyer below is wrong: the Jazzhaus show IS on Thursday).
We can't claim to know much about these cats at the Jazzhaus, but we do know that some of them are from Chicago and that the "special guest," Versace BB, is a crazed Kentucky hillbilly-gangster. Chip is intrigued by this Versace character, and currently pursuing an interview.
The cleverly titled comedy showcase "Cheers With the Cast of Friends" is scheduled for 9:30 on Friday at Frank's. It features our friend Peter Lyrene, Chance Dibben, and many others.
Peter offers this comment on why the event is an absolute MUST-attend for scenesters:
"CWCF is all about the tatted up underemployed locals, some of whom have been writing comedy as a serious hobby but haven't performed in Lawrence yet."
So go and support them and maybe they won't have to pick up that fourth part-time job. And hopefully some of the cast of Friends will actually drop by as well. Schwimmer doesn't seem to be doing much else these days, does he?
Visit the FB event page here to learn that at least 45 of your comedy-loving friends are ready for some dick jokes!

On the music front, The ACB's new album Little Leaves is out today. Oh, it's all very pretty, and just the perfectly-polished break from sloppy garage rock that we are needing! For an actual review, turn to our friends over at I Heart Local Music here , but please read it while LISTENING.
Our favorite line: the haunting refrain of "Nobody wants me there...but I'm onnnn my way" from "Xanies."
Because we don't approve of leaving LFK, we missed the ACB's major record release party with Fourth of July at the Record Bar last week, but hopefully they'll be visiting LFK this spring when the Fourth of July record lands (if not before).
Listen up and order via Bandcamp.
