We got there early one night and watched one of the performers drink everyone's
beer and act ever so slightly beligerent. It wasn't really his fault; they
had let the audience in pretty early, or maybe he was just late. Watching
him get ready for the show and banter along was amusing for a while, but
then it started to feel like hanging out on Joe Bob's dysfunctional porch,
whatever that means. So it was a relief when the show started. The show
had some good laughs. But about half of the material felt undisciplined
and wasn't really surrealist, just acted-out one-liners. The big dude is
really a tour de force and the "hanging out" with him in the beginning
may have made it hard to suspend my disbelief or something. Some of the
pieces (George at the Cross Roads, and Love) were wonderfully written/concieved.
Great energy overall though (Lactose Intolerance!). You will definitely
laugh at some if not many things if you see this.

If you check your mind at the door on your way in (Admit it: You use it
too much anyway!) this will be a pleasant trip with this bunch of frat humor
comics doing their list of skits. People tend to remember the nudity and
the cheese. This year witness the addition of Naked Cheese Lady and the
Painted Woman. My favorite skit this time around is their interpretation
of "Lactose Intolerance."

sO-rREAL? sO-wHAT? This group hasen't hit their stride yet but if they start
running now they could be in Daly City by tomorrow or at least Colma and
Martha says "That's a good thing." Despite gratuitous nudity[where's
john Ascroft when we need him?] which gives new meaning to the axiom , "every
man looks down on his own penis" and unfettered flinging of cheese
I can't recommend this show. There's undoubtedly an audience out there for
this if they could pass the security check at Atascadero. This is definitely
edgy but it didn't cut it for me.
PS I did like the dysfunctional juggler bit.

I fear it may be time to retire Hoe-down to the farm for awhile. It may
have been because of it being first night, but the performance seemed to
be phoned in and not fresh. Spontaneity repeated from last year, even if
given a slight twist, is not spontaneity. The cheese bit? Mustn't have come
from happy cows.

Very unsane and yet very artful. They throw cheese. I got to rip off a guy's
pubic hair (really). Bring beer into the theater space and you will be forced
to share (they look clean, so go for it). This is the closest thing to actually
dangerious art, that is still fun, I have witnessed this year. Hooray
