Wigfield: The Can-Do Town That Just May Not is the latest creation from the performers who gave us Strangers With Candy. Meet the cast of characters now before the Bulkwaller Dam is destroyed and washes the town away. [WARNING - Some of the language is NSFW]

Thanks a heap for this post now. I missed it while it was here in NYC, and now have to figure out a road trip if I'm to catch it live. Sounds awesome, though.

Yes! This reminded me to get my tickets for this weekend in DC. Thanks!

Heard this on NPR on Saturday as I was leaving Atlanta, where it played Sat. night. Be sure to check out the resume at the bottom of the righthand column.

I saw it the day before yesterday in Atlanta. It is good, but not quite as laugh-out-loud funny as I had hoped for. Still recommended it you're a fan of the folks involved.

The staging is REALLY weird, the live show isn't so much a play as... something else, but, of course, Amy Sedaris made me very nearly crap myself. Keep on Keepin' On!

I got a copy of the galley version of the book. It was one of those things that didn't really fly, comically, in printed form. But the live show -- particularly given the performers -- might be something else entirely.

I b'lieve Amy Sedaris will be on Letterman this Wednesday.
