WRITE-AID

What to do when television's top comedy writers are on strike? Put on a show, of course! Blog About Town friend Frank Santopadre is producing Write-Aid: A Comedy Benefit for (STRIKING) Writers at Comix at 9 pm on Tuesday night, December 11, 2007. Admission is $20 ($25 on the day of show) unless you have a WGA card, which is worth a $5.00 discount!

Featured performers include Andy Borowitz and Robert Wuhl as well as Brian "O'Brien" Kiley, Laurie "Craig Ferguson" Kilmartin, Bill "Letterman" Scheft, and Brian "O'Brien" Stack.
