Foz the Hook is emerging as the warm up act for Cole's Wednesday night comedy open mic, which is pretty cool. Join us this Wednesday, December 16, as we open the show for host Cameron Esposito.
We will also repeat last week's raucous Grinch Karaoke. Come on out and be ready to belt out your best reading of "Your soul is an apalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable, Mangled up in tangled up knots."
In other news: Yesterday the band worked up Baby on Her Bladder, which is Foz's salute to pre-natal incontinence. It was better than even you ever imagined. Look for a debut before the big January 4 headliner.

My Soul is Full of Gunk
Last night was another great night of comedy at Cole's. Adam Burke did the hosting this time, and the comics were on the mark.
Patrick and Foz played a Grinch Karaoke, that really got the room rumbling. Adam solicited comics to come on stage and sing verses of "The Grinch Song" from the Dr. Suess classic TV program The Grinch That Stole Christmas. The readings of lines like "Thirty-nine-and-a-half-foot-pole," and "Stink, stank, stunk," sent the crowd into shuttering convulsions of hootin and hollerin.
Maybe we'll do it again next week. There's still 14 shopping days before Christmas!

Morning After
Foz and Patrick and Dan played an inspiring two-set show at Cole's last night.
Highlights included:
Downhome Christmastime is fast and funny, which is pretty much the definition of comedy.
Sex For Christmas had a good initial performance. It will tighten up when we play it a second time, but we could not possibly leave it out of this last performance before Christmas.
With Drunk Astronauts inspired a wild sing-along from the crowd of four (Three of them were not already friends). That's getting to be par for the course for this hilarious Bobby and the Chuxx tune with fantastic lyrics by thos. e.
All of the tunes from The Tennessee Williams Thing sounded great. That's going to be quite a project, with performance anticipated in February.
Then, as the music ended and the drinking continued Patrick and Leah started goading stories out of Dan to be used for future lyrics. Apparently, when Dan was once AWOL from the Army his friend rolled his car while they were driving through Beaver Nebraska, population 60, trying to get back to Fort Carson. Patrick scribbled all this own in his commonplace book. If we can think of enough rhymes, this could end up being a new song.

Cameron Esposito Kills at Lincoln Lodge Tonight
Last night Foz and Patrick the Drummer played for a wild room at Cole's Chicago. Had quite a time, and "Sex for Christmas" & "Downhome Christmastime" seem to be about ready to go for Monday's big show. Cameron Esposito was, as usual, a charming and hilarious, and excitable host.
Tonight I will be watching Cameron record her debut album at The Lincoln Lodge. Friends of Foz can be friends of Cameron too. The show starts at 9:00 at night. The cover is $10.
