Was invited to check out 

"Crack 'Em Up Thursdays"
Photo: Denise Vasquez ©2010 

At The Comedy Store

In Hollywood California 

On The Sunset Strip

By Comedian Jefandi Cato

And we are SO GLAD we did!

Arriving early guaranteed us

Really GREAT seats for shooting photos

And video!


We watched & LOVED the entire show 

Yes, we stayed 'til the very end!

The versatility in the lineup was refreshing

Some of the comedians 

Were working out new material

Some comedians were improvising 

Some were really tight & had their material down

And all were feeding off the audience!

Some Audience members dared to talk s--t

Which if you open that door

You better be ready to take it!!!

Some comedians tore into the front row

Which made the night even more entertaining!

We felt privileged 

 To be a part of this special night!

From Start to finish

The Comedians 

Were ALL Fantastic!

These groups are often requested by Lucasfilm and various charity organizations to make appearances at events, from movie premieres and awards shows to fundraisers and children's hospital visits.

Next badge is by Artist Noah Albrecht 
Since the day he could hold a crayon, Noah has been drawing on anything he could get his hands on. From the time he saw his first Disney movie to a steady diet of after school and Saturday morning cartoons and Japanese anime, he always had a diverse palette of artistic influences. Combined with some intensive traditional training along the way, the culmination of all of this eventually led to Noah completing a Bachelor of Science degree in Media Arts & Animation from the Art Institute of California- Orange County. From there, his foray into professional illustration started. 

The final badge is by Artist Grant Gould
