Poison Valentines Number 1

Don’t you just love Love, my lovelies?

Are you like Foz, who falls in love with love?  But, you see, falling in love with love, I have been told, is falling for make believe (Is it too soon to make pop culture jokes about The Boys From Syracuse?)  

My point is that Your Old Pal, Foz has suffered  enough of heartache to know what Love is all about.  It is a disease more exquisite in its terminal form than in its cure.  Poetic, huh?  Meaningless too!  Well, this is a post about love.

In a couple of weeks Your Favorite Band, Foz he Hook, will debut our second in a series of holiday pageants at Cole’s.  In honor of Saint Valentine we will be presenting Foz the Hook’s Poison Valentine Pageant, on Wednesday night, February 8, at 8:45 – that’s just before Cole’s Heart-Breaking Comedy Open Mic Featuring Cameron Esposito and Adam Burke. 

Come out for FtH’s fabulous show featuring special guests Natalie Jose (as Julia Roberts), Krystal Lafianza Pitzen (as Billie Holiday), Rachel Taylor (as Doris Day), Maria Wojciechowski (as Ingrid Bergman) and Bill Bullock (as the Sax Man).  It will be a salute to the greatest failed love affairs in Hollywood history, as Foz acts out great break-up scenes with the loveliest ladies in Chicago comedy.

More on that later.

But tonight I want you to come to Cole’s for the regular Cole’s Unspeakable Comedy Open Mic, featuring Kenny Witzgall, who is pinch hitting for Cameron and Adam because they are, uh, HEADLINING AT ZANIES!   

We wish Cameron and Adam all the luck in the world at their big show tonight.  We won’t be there.  We’ll be playing for you!  At Cole’s!  Like Always!  Because it never changes!  Yay!  For that!

Oh, isn't comedy just like Love?  Just force a smile, and try to tell yourself that everything will work out this time.
