Flax AfterParty: Things That Happen in Attics

Last weekend I gathered with my fellow comedy-goers to the Comedy Spot in Ballston to see the 5678 show, “Things That Happen In Attics” with featured host, Min Cho and opening act, Stuart and Chris: Fear of Love.

I knew immediately I would enjoy the show when my roommate became part of the opening act, being one of the two girls chosen to answer a series of questions pertaining to their relationships with men. In summary, I was rolling on the ground laughing.

This is my roommate answering questions for Chris to get the show started.

Min was fantastic in his Justin Timberlake-esque ensemble and extremely relatable because I, too, have an abnormally large head and enjoy performing pop dance routines in the privacy of my own room.

“Things That Happen In Attics” was a series of improv games that revolve around the premise of having a skeleton in your closet. Each game was funnier than the last. One skit in particular, involving the troupe, was about an older couple moving to Florida. The critical older couple, Tommy and Pam, let’s face it, reminded me of my own grandparents (minus the living in Florida part). Amy B. and Ryan played the couple’s children, Amy being the golden child and Ryan struggling with proving his identity to his disapproving father (that’s my g-rated summary, haha). Amy K. is the friend stuck in the middle of this mess!

I laughed so hard, I cried. And because of that I had to run home and go freshen up my makeup.

See you at the next show!
