I love their holiday shows! The one with Steve being a kid and getting a Hank Azaria for Christmas was absolutely hysterical!

Can't wait! :) I'm especially excited for Kerry Butler.

I love the fact that we *already* had mercury poisoning lyrics in tonight's DQ.
And I can't decide if the girl from 13 vocalizing "f*ck buddy" was incredibly funny or slightly inappropriate.

All in all a fun show, longer recap will come after I've gotten some sleep...

Glad to hear the show was fun!

I think the girl from 13 (Ariana Grande) was more embarrassed to say "F*ck buddy* and act it out in front of her mom! Eamon's Evil laugh was good, and I was glad they both did the symphony.

Loved Julianna Margules's Caberet song, Kerry Butler's madlib to Somewhere That's Jewish (ie Somewhere That's Green), ABC, Josh Gad's randomness during NY2, the dating buzz game- that one is always one of my favorites!

I'd just watched Josh Gad's episode of Numb3rs a couple of days ago, so I kept seeing him as the conspiracy theorist from that ep, and so his randomness last night was somehow completely making sense in my mind, lol. And he did sing about mercury poisoning, which was kinda all I wanted from the evening. :)

Yes, the dating buzz game is always awesome!

I really need to go see What's that Smell and Rock of Ages now. And I would completely watch Private Benjamin: The Musical.

Yeah, I had fun as well. I am probably going to hell now though for thinking the My Little Pony funeral sketch was hilarious. I mean, I was starting to have tears from laughing so hard.

[Anakela]

"Do you want a brush?" Yeah, that was great.
And don't worry about the going to hell, I still occasionally watch "Jerry's Eyes" online and laugh just as hard as I did when it happened, lol.

Jerry's Eyes may have been the best and worst moment ever from DQ.

Some videos are up online, Julianna really belted the hell out of Caberet. I had no idea she could sing. I remember thinking when she first got up to the mic, why was she wearing grubby sweats, it seemed a little underdressed.

yay, the dating buzz game video is up!!
"This is going to be a minor problem, because I'm gay, and I never go out."
"That's ok, because I'm a fag hag."
Hee.

Sorry, didn't feel like making a new thread to ask- has there been any word yet on when/where the Feb Don't Quit will be? (If there still will be a Feb DQ?) The DQ website still points you to a Feb show at the Zipper, just wondering if there's any new info out there yet...

They are performing a sketch at the Defying Inequality benefit at the Gershwin on feb 23rd. Still looking for a new location for the reg show.

I hope they find a new location soon - even though I can't go anymore.

Ya know, they could always do it here. That way I could go lol
