The Best Things!


Lola Balatro has long been identified by scholars and philosophers as The Best Thing*. 

According to press accounts, “hook-laden earnestness proves the trademark of these enigmatic troubadours, whose lyrical imagery skillfully melds the profundity of a poet laureate with the libido of a longshoreman.”  -- Longshoreman Quarterly, 2010.

We at Foz the Hook do not challenge this assertion, but rather celebrate it!  We have had the privilege of playing with Lola away back in October of 2010 at Foz the Hook’s Freakshowcase.  You will remember that show because that was the show – a show that also featured the Killer, Ever Mainard – that was the show where you finally learned to have faith in America again, after two long years of recession.

Did Foz the Hook, Ever Mainard, or Lola Balatro demand payment for ending The Great Recession?  Of course not!  We are patriots!

But now it is time to pay FtH and Lola Balatro a solid.  Get on out to the Laughingstock: The Chicagocomedy Music Festival on Sunday, August 25. Buy your tickets from this guy!  Bring your Mom.  Foz has a thing for your Mom*
