As you may or may not know, I write for the Texas Travesty and one of the best things about working there is the day a new issue goes out. Today is that day (for the October issue).
I wrote a review on a local comedy group that I wish everyone would get a chance to read- if only to help educate. Let me know what you think.

The P! Company MEGASHOW: The 'P!' stands for PooPoo
An unbiased article by Megan Williamson

Prepare for THE P! COMPANY MEGASHOW. The Texas Travesty is producing a new night of comedy with Austin’s local sketch comedy group, The P! Company. It's a free show so clear your calendars for October 17th at 8:00pm in The Texas Union Theater.
It guarantees to be an evening consisting of ...videos (a few are funny; most are not) and some live material (no guarantees).
Their moniker is "Sketch Comedy for Nerds" a tagline that suggests that they may have comfortably fit into your high school's A.V. club. However they lack the awkwardness and charm of the nostalgic video nerd.
To be frank, I do not like this group. And in the interest of full disclosure, I was romantically linked with Mr. Sweeney for less than a week. Although I sincerely believe that my writing this review does not constitute a conflict of interest- as I am not interested in him or his comedy.
I do appreciate comedy, very much so. What I don't appreciate is waiting at the Olive Garden for two plus hours, alone.
I had a fairly innocuous interview with this comedy troupe. But instead of running that for our readers, I thought I’d take the opportunity to let you know how not funny they are.
I'll admit initially I chuckled at the video antics of the two twenty-something year old children. But after each subsequent viewing, the laughs died down. Watching these videos through the prism of what I will refer to as the "Olive Garden Incident," it was difficult to derive any pleasure from the experience.
Now I simply cry- not due to any sort of emotional attachment, but at the stupidity I harbor for having opened myself to this brand of comedy- if that's what you want to call it, ass.

I am very confused by this article. Why waste the time to write about if you don't like it?
Sweetie, I'm so sorry! I watched their lame video blog with the four screens. (WTF--I totally heart Heroes!) Is Olive Garden guy the one who looks like Patrick Swayze? -V
piece of shit
