Here’s the deal: we in Friendlytown have just too many hot dogs. Our surplus isn’t something we’re terribly proud of, either. So, we’ve called in a HDDM (Hot Dog Demolition Man) to help us sort this out.

Rounding out the … Continue reading
Don’t sleep on this one, Knoxville; we at Friendlytown have got some real humdingers in store for your laugh-muscles. And there may just be pizzas and sweet baked goods for performers and paying (attention and/or donations) audience members. Todd, John, St. Thomas and I will be making a special appearance on Alan Sims’ “Knoxcentric” … Continue reading
