Hacks

Imagine sticking your two front teeth into an enormous scoop of ice cream and leaving them there for over an hour. That should approximate the feeling most of us get sitting through a bad stand-up comedy performance. Now multiply that feeling times six. On October 20th, 2000, journalists from one of the nation's leading newspapers were assigned to study the world of stand-up comedy in its native habitat. What they found cannot justly be described in words. It must be experienced. Described by critics as brilliantly irreverent, inspired, shocking, subversive and uproarious, Hacks takes you to comic places you've never been before. And like all great comedy, Hacks will transport you - making you wildly uncomfortable while simultaneously crippling you with belly laughter. It is a comedic joyride you'll wish would never end.
