Posted: 1/18/05 at 6:14pmSince this comes up so often, and Corine mentions it each time, the Jackie Mason musical was named Laughing Room Only.

I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Fame was pretty bad, but the cast were terrific.
Namo, did you see Laughing Room Only? (Thanks Macgruder)
FOA-
I loved old shows of Jackie Mason. But his musical, was so wretched and offensive I wanted to hide. He was so bigoted,
it made me want to purge. Purge on him!
OY.

Posted: 1/18/05 at 6:30pmNaming "Our Town" just means that Zippyjen has never had to suffer through a few dozen travesties I can think of off the top of my head. Even the absolute worst and most utterly incompetent production of "Our Town" is better by leaps and bounds than Ivo van Hove's "Alice In Bed" at NYTW a few years ago which after about 30 mintues of it, made me seriously contemplate doing an Oedipus and plucking out my own eyes right there in the 5th row, rather than sitting there and having to look at one more minute of it.

No Foa,
It gets better. I saw Jackie Mason's wretched "Laughing Room Only" on Thanksgiving. I had dinner with my best friend in the whole world and then left to see this show.
I left my friend to see this train wreck. I was pissed.

Posted: 1/18/05 at 6:36pmWhat on earth was it about? It looked like a review of some sorts. That's so sad cuz I've seen him do stand up live and he's hysterical.
