ShawnMikael(s) in CoHi: "Suck It, Holidays!" -- Our Annual Holiday Special!

The most wonderful time of the year, right? Sure, what with all the shopping and work parties to go to and cookies to bake for your ingrate neighbors and friends. So we're not going to waste your time with wheedling bullshit about how great they are. The holidays suck dogs. And, if you're like us, you're going to need some "I-need-to-laugh" diversions to get through them, with people other than blood relatives who passive-aggressively comment on your life choices. And here's just the lineup to divert you: two troupes never before seen on the ShawnMikael(s) in CoHi bill, as well as one of the DC area's master storytellers as our host.

Breakfast is:

Alyssa Wilden
Pedro Alcocer
Nicole Barrett.
Dan Lee
Dana Bell

Just Moxie is:

Laura Frese
Steve Calamia
Marc Reber
Amanda Barber

And finally, us, ShawnMikael(s):

Shawn Westfall
Mikael Johnson

Our Host? A talented, funny stand-up, improvisor and sketch writer who's a revered member of a number of local troupes, as well as one of the comedic engines behind the sketches on "The Charlie Visconage Show," Jamal Newman!

But: you can't see any of it unless you buy a ticket. And you know how that works: we only can sell a total of 10 (TEN!) at the door. So get yours early and often...

Remember: Studio 1469 is BYOB!: Keep in mind that the space doesn't sell alcohol. However, you are welcome to bring your own alcoholic beverages to the show (provided, of course, you are of legal drinking age and aren't a gargantuan douche).

ShawnMikael(s) merchandise (read: "cool logo-emblazoned t-shirts") will be on sale. $15 each, available in all sizes

The Space: Studio 1469 (http://studio1469.com/), located in the rear of 1469 Harvard Street, is not your normal performance space: one part artist's hideaway, one part "white-box" theater, it's a hidden gem in bustling Columbia Heights. Please note that access isn't available on Harvard Street, but by entering via the alley off 15th Street between Harvard Street and Columbia Road. Once in the alley, walk straight to the end, where you'll find the space. More information. Directions, and a map are available here:

Show up. Bring your own holiday cheer. And laugh a little. God knows you deserve it.
