Click This: Videos of Sketchfest Winners from Helium

A few weeks back, HELIUM hosted a competition to determine the final spot(s) for the PHILLY SKETCHFEST which kicks off tonight. Out of the ten groups that performed, two ended up making the cut… BAD CREATIONS and DEPENDABLE FELONS. To acclimate yourself with their work, head on over to Comic vs Audience for a couple of great videos.

Local comedy resource COMICVSAUDIENCE has upgraded their site to 2.0… which now includes an events calendar, a listing of open mics and most excitingly, a comedy database. I recommend you head on over and take a gander.

ICYMI: NSFW video of Blangalangalang and DJ Footy PJ

ANIMOSITY PIERRE is set to debut a new show tonight, and it’s got me excited about what they’ve got up their sleeves. Thinking back on all the shows I’ve seen them do, my favorite of their characters has probably been the rap duo Blangalangalang (aka Balal) and Footy Pajamas (aka DJ Footy PJ).

My first encounter with these comic OGs was back in January of last year at Die Actor Die when they debuted their very NSFW single, Lick That Asshole. ICYMI the first time, Comic vs Audience was kind enough to catch it on tape.

SERIOUSLY NSFW:
