    A Funny Week Ahead

    posted by Lolo

    To wind down from Art Basel hecticness, we are happy to present two free events next week where you can just sit back and laugh…

    Monday night, Movie Mondays presents STELLA SHORTS!  From our good friend Jason of Model Citizens who set this screening up:

    “Dumb comedy dressed up in a suit!”  The Stella Shorts are a collection of short homemade sketch-comedy films that were written, produced, and starred Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain of the comedy group The State (along with guest actors such as Paul Rudd, Sam Rockwell, Janeane Garafallo, Bradley Cooper, Elizabeth Banks, and more).  The short films were originally shown at the group’s live stage show at the Fez nightclub in New York from 1998 to 2004 and contain the raunchy humor which spawned the Stella television show (that ran for one season on Comedy Central in 2005).  Come check out this rare screening of irreverant, chaotic, silly comedy.

    AND, what is possibly the coolest thing ever, the guys caught wind that we were screening their stuff and sent along a personalized message for us to watch before the screening!  It’s the next best thing to having Michael Ian Black shout you out on Twitter.

    Then Tuesday night, buckle up for the last CASA DE HA-HA of 2009!  For over a year now Sweat has played host to some of South Florida’s absolute finest comedians and this second Tuesday is no different!  Host Daniel Reskin brings known and unknown comics from the local scene to the Sweat stage.  No cover and no drink minimums so we hope to see you out!

    P.S. Speaking of funny, the South Beach Comedy Festival is just around the corner!  Visit their site for the whole awesome lineup.

    Dan on Doug Action

    Doug Stanhope, this Friday at the Culture Room, Ft. Lauderdale.  Stanhope is known for working outside the comedy club circuit in favor of performing at any “boozer joint” with a stage and microphone.  Perfect fit for a man with comedy that won’t conform.  Be prepared for some culture-shaking prophetic rants, laced with the finest hooker/poop/drug jokes on the market. Comic-comparisons can be trite, but I’d say if Bill Hicks and George Carlin starred in 2 Girls 1 Cup, Doug Stanhope is the cup.  Drink deeply.  Now go to Ticketmaster.

    And speaking of unholy crap, I get to open for him! This is not only an honor, but also a chance to make some real connections, maybe a new dealer.  Not really, mine is great.  I saw Stanhope two years ago at Crowbar in Tampa, check out the fan pic!

    posted by Lolo

    Tomorrow is the second Tuesday of the month which means it’s time for another laugh-filled episode of Casa De Ha-Ha!  There are no drink minimums as your favorite local record store is magically converted into an underground comedy club.

    Not only that but it’s Sweat employee and stand-up comic extraordinaire Ivan Hernandez‘ birthday!  Come out for cupcakes and comedy, and there’s no cover as always!  Click to RSVP on Facebook and tell a friend:
