3 Years Ago: The Knox Comedy Roast of Ebeneezer Scrooge
On December 13, 2014, I took the stage in a stovepipe hat (Party City was out of Top Hats) and did one of my favorite sets of my life in character as Bob Cratchit. I had even shaved my beard into mutton-chop-sideburns for the part. Despite the sass I got from Todd Lewis when I … Continue reading
Weekend Basketball Tour comes to Pilot Light this Saturday!
Some of you have seen Jake Head (NYC, formerly ATL) on one of his visits to Knoxville over the past couple of years (the most recent of which being his showstopping performance at Sugar High! Comedy Night last December). Anyway, our favorite Jax Jaguars fan (and likely yours, too) will be coming back through Knoxville … Continue reading
052: Friendlytown’s One-Year Anniversary Show!
As Friendlytown’s founding fathers used to say: FUCK YEAH! WE MADE IT. One a scale of one to “a Solar Eclipse happened on that day” how proud are you of us? In celebration, we got all of our coolest mayors back together to systematically revisit meetings they couldn’t be there for (or were and just wanted to redo), and THE RESULTS WILL ASTOUND YOU. Continue reading
051: Friendlytown’s Midlife Crisis!
It’s almost Friendlytown’s One Year Anniversary! One year is already incredibly old in comedy-show years, so it’s time for us to pursue our REAL dreams. We’ve been giving, giving, giving for our whole goddamn life and it’s time to do something for ourselves, goddamnit! So, we’re getting together and figuring out the most productive way for our community to enjoy our midlife crisis without tearing apart our family, or something. Listen in! Continue reading
050: Friendlytown Never Actually Saw That Movie!
Sometimes, running our wacky town can be pretty demanding, so you can’t blame Mayor St. Thomas for wanting a quiet night in! Tonight, he’s just gonna kick back, flip through his TV Guide, and pick a movie to watch. Trouble is, he’s also an indecisive man. So, he’s gonna invite a bunch of good buddies/dealers to stop by, and he’s gonna ask them for their synopses and opinions of some of the finest movies ever made (that they’ve totally seen! really! like, not lying at all to run off the edges). HAPPY 50TH EPISODE. Continue reading
062: Friendlytown Has Too Many Hot Dogs!
On October 30, 2017, we in Friendlytown decided, ONCE AND FOR ALL, to do something about this insane hot dog surplus. Mayor Tyler explains it in more detail at the beginning of this episode, but we weren’t proud of our situation. Fortunately, internationally renowned HDDM (Hot Dog Demolition Man) came to town from Columbus to deliver us from evil/hot dogs. This is the broadcast of what happened on that night. Continue reading
049: Friendlytown Needs a New, Obscure System of Government!
Now that we are almost at our 50th show council meeting, it’s time to shake things up. You know those funny ideas you get when you’re really high for “wouldn’t it be cool if the government operated under these pretenses…?” except you can’t remember the word for pretenses and nobody is actually funny when they’re high? Well, this meeting was like that, but funny. NOW IS THE TIME TO DIVE INTO THE PIT-OCRACY! Continue reading
