Looking to extend the weekend and laugh your way into the week? PianoFight's female-driven variety show Monday Night ForePlays is just the ticket! The ladies return to the stage this September with their seventh all-new installment of “SHEketch” comedy in “The Autumn LaughtHER Factor.”

After ten months of sold-out shows and special performances at a multitude of San Francisco theater and musical festivals, ForePlays has proven to cure your “case of the Mondays” with a strong dose of funny - and free beer! “The Autumn LaughtHER Factor” will showcase brand-new dance numbers and 8 never-before-seen comedic sketches featuring a dancing penny, a competitive gherkin-eating little person and a visit from Screech Powers. In addition, ForePlays will welcome a plethora of comedians including winners of the 2009 SF Women’s Comedy Competition, Janine Brito and Emily Heller (who won first and second place respectively), former MTV "Real World" star, Irene McGee and Ali Wong, who was voted "Best Comedian of 2009" by SF Weekly. Rounding out the show are talented local musical acts such as Rainbow Chair, Vandella and The Whisky Richards.

“The Autumn LaughtHER Factor” premieres September 13 at 8pm, and runs every Monday evening through October 25 in Studio250 at Off-Market Theaters, located at 965 Mission Street between 5th Street and 6th Street.
