Michael was the only member of his Elementary School A/V Club. He now spends most of his time editing videos of him lip-synching to Miley Cyrus songs, playing with the latest coolest gadgets and uploading photos to the interwebs, all while trying to spiral uncontrollably into becoming a multi-media conglomeration; oh yeah, and he's got a blog.
**Due to a feature here at the examiner that limits our usage of naughty words, I'm not able to publish this post using the actual word of the event....so for this post we'll have to refer to the guys as f*gs**
Susan Alexander has just been named a semi-finalist in the Friars Club: So You Think You Can Roast? contest and will be hosting the 5 Funny Females and 5 Funny F*gs show at Chicago’s Lakeshore Theater on August 22nd & 23rd.
In 2005, Alexander created 5 Funny Females which features a variety of the funniest up and coming female stand-up comedians delivering their unique points of views and touring to packed audiences in top US cities. Then in 2008 Alexander launched the 5 Funny F*gs shows, the funniest variety of gay male comedians, to accompany 5 Funny Females.
“Since the gays love women and women love gays for shopping and as back-up sperm donors. It makes perfect sense that the successful national 5 Funny Females Tour spawn an offspring show called 5 Funny F*gs.” Alexander said. “The Chicago shows on August 22nd and 23rd will be the first time that I will combine the 5 Funny Females and 5 Funny F*gs as one show at the fabulous Lakeshore Theater.”
Alexander will roast George Takei, from Star Trek and Heroes, along with celebrity guests on August 19th at the Friars Club in New York City, www.friarsroast.com, for the semi-finals of the competition.
