At the risk of being called a shill.... LAUGH WHORE is brilliant!

Posted: 10/11/04 at 11:40pm

I just got home from the dress rehearsal of Laugh Whore and Oh. My. God. Fantastic show! My sides still ache from laughing so hard. Definitely not a show for the easily offended (not something I'd take my grandmother to), but it's a 2hr 15min scream fest. Mario pokes fun at himself, celebrities and the audience with a plethora of voices, sound effects and specially written musical numbers. I have not seen something this funny in a long, long time.

Ladies, definitely wear your waterproof mascara because by the end of Act 1 I'd been laughing so hard that I'd cried all of mine off!

I would love to see this show. Some people hate him but I think he is a laugh riot. He says what all of us think sometimes. kind-a like a gay Margaret Cho (oh wait a minute... isn't she a gay man anyway?)

Sounds good, and you're not even close to being a shill.

First of all, understudies are not allowed to ban legends from doing anything.... especially not me

Yes, Mario does Liza..... in a very, interesting fashion lmao

Like I said, previews start tonight and it's only running through November... definitely see it soon because this is something you'll want to see more than once. With the great amount of adlibbing, this is a show that will never be exactly the same twice!

Isn't it shilling if you work for the production?

this shilling is disgusting and must be stopped.

I'm not Mario's publicist

There is nothing pertaining to his SATC co-stars.

No. It's definitely geared towards an adult audience.

Did anyone see him in THE CRUMPLE ZONE? He was amazing, as was the play. Who wrote that, and when is he going to write something else???

I looooove Mario Cantone!! Wish I could see it! And no, this is not shilling, this is a personal review from a person who saw something she liked and wanted to tell people about it. Shills are usually so carried away with hyperbole that they become screechy. Glad you liked the show.
