I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the Cody Rivers Show, a sketch comedy duo out of Bellingham, is performing two shows at Curious Comedy this weekend. I caught their set last year after a 3rd Floor show—they are really really really funny. Really funny.

Okay, Lindy West up at the Stranger puts a little more effort into explaining their appeal:

You know when you spend most of your life eating chocolate chips and watching ABC Family Channel original movies and crying (come on, sure you do), and then you drag yourself outside for one little night of theater and it turns out to be something so purely creative and wondrous that it’s like getting a hug straight from the Baby Jesus? The Cody Rivers Show is like that—like a reassuring blast of weird, delightful brilliance. Like maybe humans aren’t useless after all.

Right!

Highly, highly recommended. Fri-Sat 9:30 pm, Curious Comedy, 5225 NE MLk, $12, tickets are somewhere inside this website.

Alison Hallett served nobly as the Mercury's arts editor from 2008-2014. Her proud legacy lives on.
