Guess What?

Guess what?
Chicken butt.
Just kidding.
We're doing another show.
 

Uh...look, we're not going to try to convince you to come because that would be unseemly.
We're just going to say that in last month's audience we had parents in their 30's, college kids, gay academics, a drag queen and someone's drunk grandma. 
 
AND THEY ALL LOVED IT.
 
And so will you.
 
So will you.
 
XO,
Mel & El

We're Back




MEL: Hey, El?
EL: Yes, Mel?
MEL: I'm glad that you have a baby now.
EL: It is always better when we are even.
MEL: So, I could not get out of bed this morning and when I finally walked

in to the living room, my two-year-old was watching porn.
EL: WHAT?
MEL: Well, it wasn't actual pornography, it was a Rihanna video.
EL: Same thing.
MEL: I'm pretty sure he now knows how to roll a blunt and get 

someone pregnant.
EL: Those are both valuable life skills.
MEL: Yeah, I just won Parenting.

EL: I am obviously lagging behind on Baby Charlie's education.
MEL: I don't think they recommend porn until six months old, so you're 

still on track.
EL: Thanks.

MEL: Can we stop talking about this now?

EL: Please.
MEL: We're doing a show!

EL: I know it!
MEL: Our first show where we are both entirely sleep deprived.
EL: WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN?
MEL: I don't even know. Crazy things. Wonderful things.
EL: Funny things.
MEL: I'm sorry I didn't hear you, I was sleeping.

Reasons

Dearest People,

Reasons to come:

1. It's in one week.
2. It's the last big one for awhile because El went and got herself knocked up.
3. Lots of brand new songs ABOUT things.
4. We'll be sad if we don't see you (like how our faces look above).
5. El is hormonal and unpredictable. Please help us keep her happy.
6. Mel doesn't get out much so at the show she might just do something INSANE.

That's enough reasons. We love you.

- Mel & El

P.S. Here's a fun interview we did about the show.

Twosomes and Threesomes

Remember when wearing jean jackets and buttons wasn't ironic?

Dearest Friends,

There is a thing called the NY Funny Songs Fest and it's happening. It's all happening. And soon.

We are totally honored to be hosting a show in the festival called Twosomes and Threesomes. Doesn't the edgy title make you want to attend? Is your brain slightly tricked into thinking that if you show up you will actually witness some sexy time?

No! You are very intelligent! So you understand that we are referring to Comedy Music Performers that come in pairs and trios!

On Friday, May 31st come check out: Stuckey & Murray, Squirm and Germ, The Skivvies, The Parodivas and also US!

This will be fun. Also, The Skivvies perform in their underwear.

XO,
Mel & El

P.S. We will wear all of our clothes.

Bring Your Wands!


Hermione is there so it has to be real. 
MEL: Hey, El?
EL: Yes, Mel?
MEL: Have you packed for Orlando yet?
EL: That's not until this weekend and we have a gig in Pennsylvania before that, so...no.
MEL: You went to college in Orlando. Will this feel like a sort of homecoming to you?
EL: Um, sure. Why are you being weird?
MEL: I'm not being weird.
EL: Yes, you are. Wait. Are you...excited?
MEL: What are you talking about?
EL: You're EXCITED. Usually, you're just bogged down in logistics and details.
MEL: I'm always excited to do our show.
EL: But you seem almost giddy.
MEL: Well, it's not every day that we are so close to Ollivander's Wand Shop.
EL: WHAT?
MEL: At the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando! You can go to Ollivander's!
EL: And?
MEL: And your WAND will pick YOU.
EL: For $185, yeah. The wand will pick your pocket. Eh? EH?
MEL: Don't joke about Harry Potter.
EL: I love The Potter as much as you but you know we won't have time to go there, right?
MEL: Yeah, I know. But just thinking about the possibility of it makes me happy.
EL: We've been best friends for 25 years and I've never found you to be a bigger nerd than I do right now.
MEL: Thanks.
EL: You're welcome.

If you're in Orlando or Orlando-adjacent, 
come join us on May 3rd and May 4th! 

AND BRING YOUR WANDS!
