"Comedy troupes like Wrist Deep Productions and Secret Circus are finding larger, more appreciative audiences. They are redefining what it means to see live comedy and breathing energy into an art form that sorely needed it."
"If comedy were the new punk rock, the comedians behind Denver's Wrist Deep Productions would be the new Black Flag."
-The Onion
*************************************************
Wrist Deep Productions puts on some of the most creative, hilarious, I'm-very-uncomfortable-with-what-was-just-said-on-stage-so-why-am-I-laughing? comedy extravaganzas D-town has ever seen.
There's the Squire Lounge open mic night every Tuesday, voted Best Comedy Night in 2005 and 2007 by the Westword and Best Comedy Night by readers in 2006. Straight up.
Then there's the Gong Show, officially called "You Suck, Get Off the Stage!", which sold out its first show in February 2006 at the Oriental Theater. That comedic circus saw Larry the Cable Guy assassinate Abraham Lincoln, over ten acts booed off the stage, and Jesus shaking hands with Chewbacca. The Gong Show only got bigger and better with two more shows the following July. We saw flying ninjas, Osama bin Laden and Jesus brawling on stage, and a rousing audience sing-along of "Dirty Deeds" led by metal cover band, Velocity (whose members all happen to be under the age of 14). Last December's show featured a national baton-twirling champion, more flying ninjas, bukkake alarm clock, a husband/wife gansta rap duo, and the show's winning master beatboxer.
Wrist Deep also puts on the critically acclaimed Los Comicos Super Hilariosos, a monthly comedy smack-down featuring local Denver favorites and visiting comedians.
Pulling together the talents of Greg Baumhauer, Ben Kronberg, Adam Cayton-Holland, Ben Roy and Jim Hickox (as well as their numerous funny-friends), Wrist Deep is the type of production company that believes comedy is best served with cheap beer and lots of friends.
George Carlin died today. Shit - The bird shit on the statue.
Piss - I have to piss like a race horse.
Fuck - Fuck you.
Cunt - She has a gorgeous cunt.
Cocksucker - Go to hell, you cocksucker.
Motherfucker - You are a motherfucker.
Tits - Hey, nice tits.
Later, Carlin referred to three additional "auxiliary" words:
Fart - I farted.
Turd - Who dropped a turd in the urinal? Twat - Shave that hairy twat.
Take a moment to curse tomorrow, preferrably using all these words in one sentence. Any suggestions?
That turd took a shit in my twat while I farted, lifting my tits past my cunt for the first time in fucking years, which made me laugh so hard I pissed my cocksucking pants, motherfucker.
That cheeka who won the bar tab at Squire stole a joke from Lynn Koplitz--she said, "sex with me is like the SAT's: show up on time, do the best you can and when I say stop, put your little pencil down."
I wanted to share with you a documentary that we made when we came back from Iraq. We are currently submitting it to film festivals and looking for a publisher. I hope you enjoy it and thanks for your support.
Please leave comments on our myspace page. Thank you.

Friday night was stellar, as usual. I think I peed in my panties 7 or 8 times! Ben mentioned the need for some ladies on stage, I'm putting something together, but it needs to be polished. Rim jobs and applesauce.
you boys always impress. like a leaf in a dictionary, or a penis in a book. Thanks, as always, for the radical dictionary leaves. I'll cherish them always.
