Go see him! That's an order!

Even if I can't give everyone who reads this orders to go, you're crazy if you don't take this opportunity to go see Mario Cantone in his one-man Broadway show, Laugh Whore. You may know Mario from Sex and the City. He has also been in Broadway and Off-Broadway shows, as well as having appeared in various TV programs besides S&TC. Okay, before this starts sounding like the biographical summary in Playbill, let me get to the point...

Mario is a riot! We've seen his act leave people rolling with laughter in a comedy club setting on many occasions, but this was on Broadway. It draws a different crowd, especially as this was a matinee. Despite the wide spread in ages and backgrounds (just listening to these people talk at intermission, you could hear the diversity), the reaction was uniformly one of hilarity.

Don't miss this show. I've seen many Broadway shows that I thought weren't worth a fraction of the ticket price we paid. Mario's show, on the other hand, is worth every penny and then some.

So why are you still reading this? Go buy some tickets!
