This just sounds sketchy.
I am leaving a message in order to win two tickets to the Sketchfest this weekend. If I do not win, it is not pure chance. No, it is surely that I did not believe strongly enough in the power of love.
Want to take a friend from out of town to show off the local talent.
As I tell my husband, “I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have a sense of humor.”
Seriously, we’d be tickled to win.
Free beer but you gotta pay for water??? This is my kinda venue!
Favorite comment so far.
I am very poor.
It’s all fun and games until someone gets a charlie horse.
Everyone in the front row gets a free charlie horse in the first five minutes of the show just like last year.
Also Dr. Smooothwood, you’re turning us on with that extra “o” in “Smoooth”. You’re naughty and perfect in our Sketchfest audience.
Here’s hopin’!
