Slideshow: In Color! August 24, 2007

Tickets are $10 but I can get them for $5 if we pre-purchase.

One of the most unique shows in L.A. is back! Eight comedians and storytellers take you on their individual twisted journeys, with the aide of a 1974 Kodak slide projector. Join them as they venture back to when TV dinners were a holiday treat and getting together to listen to some new records on the phonograph was considered "quality time."

Slideshow" was hilariously entertaining, yet a SHOCKER!!! After reading the blurb about the show I expected an innocent trip back to the '50's. A time of, as the ad read, tv dinners and dancing to old phonograph records. I invited my sister and two childhood friends. I even asked if my friend's 90 year old mother would like to accompany us. Thank god she did not!

We were all stunned as the show opened with "twisted" storytelling of dysfunctional family memories. It actually made the show all the more sidesplitting, because of the disparity between what we expected and what we got!

The presenters were cynical, sarcastic, lewd and very entertaining. One of the show's presenters, an obvious novice, was painfully honest in the delivery of his childhood memories and moved me and I am sure others in the audience to tears.

This show is not at all "standard fare" yet it connects the audience with the dysfunctionally normal part of their own family dynamics.
THe only suggestion I would make to Goldstar is a little more warning about the raunchiness of the show, just in case a group of Southern Baptist decide to take the trip down memory lane and are not as open-minded as we were.
