New York Goof Show

I won’t mince words. The line up of the New York Goofs is the toppermost of the poppermost. I can count on one hand other clowns I would like to have enter their elite fraternity. The Goofs are the clown world’s supergroup — any single one of them can make me laugh with a wicked grin or the wiggle of an eyebrow. In various combinations, I can only imagine they ought to be certified with the U.N. as weapons of mass destruction. Science? Art? Necromancy? What care I? I only wish to convey to you the vital information that they are performing at the Flea Theatre tonight through Saturday. If you go and don’t laugh, don’t go to the doctors, head straight for the mortuary. I guess you can’t do that. Well, tell someone else to bring you to mortuary. Oh, I guess you can’t do that either. OK, don’t do anything. But if you’re alive and want more info, go here.
