----------------->(where's kresge town hall?) The comedy snobs at KZSC's The Sound of Young America have hand-selected only the freshest, ripest comedians from at home and abroad for Santa Cruzians' sophisticated comic palates. The Laugh Riot features the best in cutting edge sketch and standup comedy, and it's all to benefit KZSC, your Radio Revolution on the Central Coast! Tickets are available at the door, and are only $9. Hard N Phirm http://www.hardnphirm.com Hard 'n Phirm began performing musical comedy together in the Spring of 1994 at UCLA. The next year, they won Spring Sing, UCLA's annual school-wide talent show. Baffled by the cold truth that there is, in fact, no money in the school talent show circuit, they disbanded to pursue other interests, vowing to reunite exactly eight years later. Their debut album "Horses and Grasses" contains songs about The Carbon Cycle, Pi, The Loyal Order of Moose, patriotic dinosaurs, and "Rodeohead," a bluegrass medley of Radiohead songs. They worked very, very hard on it. Hard 'n Phirm are both able and anxious to display their comedy wares for an 18-34 year old audience with a hilarity-smoothie of stand-up, music and multimedia slide presentations. They currently reside in Los Angeles and are nice. Prank the Dean http://www.prankthedean.com Prank the Dean are San Francisco's hottest sketch comedy group. Formed in Santa Cruz in 2003, "P the D" have been seen on comedy stages across the Bay Area -- from Cobb's Comedy Club to the San Francisco Sketchfest. Funny beyond their years, these four young Californians may be the next big thing in the world of sketch comedy. Prank the Dean are Jordan Morris, Jesse Thorn, Jim Real, and Lauren Pasternak.
