084: Friendlytown Gets Audited!
Nothing is certain except death, taxes, and that the smell of the burning remains of the Friendlytown Hummus Factory will forever be in our clothing. But this week, we’re focusing on our taxes.
Friendlytown’s tax revenue department is sending an auditor (Shane Rhyne, CPA) to ask questions about some peculiar deductions and claims made in the Friendlytown tax returns this year. Sit back and watch our comedian residents squirm as they attempt to explain their way out of this mess.
Come on out and see why the local press has recently said, “This is a show that takes place every Monday.” Continue reading
083: Friendlytown Hosts a REAL Open Mic
A note from your guest hosts, The Copy Writers: Hello fellow artists, we would like to give you an opportunity to share your gifts with your fellow craftsman of creativity. We will be hosting an Open Mic at the appropriately grungy Pilot Light. Ripped jeans and scarves are not required but highly encouraged. The night will be filled with the exchange of imagination, such as but not limited to: dramatic readings, songs, interpretive dance, instrumental expression, contortionists, method silence, etc. There’s only one rule: no stand-up comedy. None. Continue reading
082: Friendlytown Canonizes a Patron Saint!
(Live at the Pilot Light 4/2/18) FRIENDLYTOWN NEEDS A PATRON SAINT! Someone to look to when we require comfort and clarity in spite of hearing Uncle Terrence tell us for the fiftieth time how he won that wing-eating contest in Ann Arbor almost 15 years ago now (those poor butterflies). But who, or what, would best soothe (or exacerbate) the struggles and strife of Friendlytown living?
Hosted by the Pastor of the Friendlytown Non-Denominational Churthedralgogsque (Chur-thee-drul-gogsk), Beth Tomkins. Continue reading

Cars have been ransacked, buildings have been overturned, statues have been defaced (no really, someone knocked the faces off all our statues) and now it is up to the Friendlytown Town Council to fix everything!
The Council has appointed Mayor Sean as the Emergency Crisis Management Czar and given him power to call upon the other mayors of Friendlytown to concoct solutions to the multitude of festival shenanigans. Tune in and hear about how they fixed things up while magically staying under budget! Continue reading

Shows in Columbus this Week!
