Family Hour w/Auntie Sara@Ochi's Lounge@COMIX!'s Blurbs
About me:
Family Hour with Auntie Sara is a wondrous comedy show featuring comedians talking about family in a manner that is not at all appropriate for actual families with actual children. It's the FINAL SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH AT 9 PM at Ochi's Lounge/Comix, just east of the corner of West 14th and 9th Avenue here in NYC.
Family Hour with Auntie Sara was featured as one of the NEW YORK POST'S best bets for alternative comedy! We were also named a NY POST HOT PICK and featured on METROMIX.COM! WHOA!
Put your beads on, its time to sing a song About the Hippie Christmas Eve Pass the Chex Mix, crank the Hendrix, Its way too early now to sleep
Seasons turning, bras are burning Smell of patchouli in the air Let it snow, we won’t go Are those new dreadlocks in your hair?
Special fruit cake, that gets your mind baked And it sets your spirits free Feeling groovy, Zapruder movie Lets all hug the Christmas tree
Time to pass out the presents, there’s enough for all of us Let’s do something crazy and tie dye the VW bus I don't want to be selfish, hope I get a new Bob Dylan song Oh, look a framed picture of grandma, turned into a working bong
Hair is unkempt, stockings made of hemp Protest signs of red and green Letters to Santa sent, fuck the government Gifts wrapped in High Times magazine
Christmas carols sung, by flower children Mistletoe has been smoked away When you are in the snow, we want you to know We wish you a Hippie Holiday! We wish you a Hippie Holi (don't forget to fight the power!) DAY!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH...I can't wait to share stories with you...Oh and don't forget about that new fangled salad place...I may rezzies for April 2011..xoxoxox
If we're lucky, my family will get even more f-ed up before the show as my brother is joining the police academy! Cop dad, cop brother, nurse mom---- and there's me. There isn't a uniform for what I do.
Back when I was a kid "family hour" meant good, clean entertainment, like "The Brady Bunch Variety Hour," "The Captain and Tennille Variety Show" and "The Sonny and Cher Variety Show Hour." People would sing pleasant, inoffensive songs like "Puppy Love" and "The Ballad of the Green Berets," tell unobjectionable jokes that would make Grandpa chuckle and act in skits featuring bucktoothed Chinese laundry owners, Italian mobsters, Irish alcoholics, black muggers, Jewish accountants, female wives and 40 Hispanics in an Impala. In short, I'm glad somebody has decided to bring back the era of innocent entertainment. Kudos, Sara. Kudos.
