This week's list

GREAT:
Last night, I got to see the 10th anniversary celebration of Cocoon Central Dance Team. I was skeptical the first time I heard about a "comedy dance group." But watching them is a laser beam of pure joy straight into your eyeballs. I've never had more fun at a show. They are three of the most original and talented performers around. Whether it's creating a dance intro for the NYC Marathon, parodying dance movie tropes, or starring in a surreal space odyssey, no one makes comedy like them. Cocoon Central Dance Team


FUNNY:
Tim Robinson had a short-lived (but memorable) stint as a cast member on SNL. Then he co-created and starred in the beloved but under-watched classic Detroiters. And now, he and Zach Kanin (an incredible cartoonist and writer) have put together a truly bonkers sketch comedy show. I could not stop laughing. Find it on Netflix or read a review here: I Think You Should Leave is Comedy Perfection


INTERESTING:
We spent several hours at work this week really digging deep into Chuck E. Cheese. First of all, did you know his full name is Charles Entertainment Cheese. And that's just the tip of the iceberg! His biography is wild and surprisingly dark. Apparently, he never had his own birthday so he "fills the void by hosting birthday parties for everyone else."
