Farce After Dark: a new comedy podcast
Dear Friends and Fans of Funny, I am pleased today to announce the launch of Farce After Dark, a new podcast designed to showcase aspiring young comic writers and performers from the Toronto comedy scene.

The Raisin Gang unanimously voted the above clip to be the best and funniest part of the 83rd Academy Awards. Franco and Hathaway, you should be taking notes. -Marissa

I don’t see why this is supposed to be funny.  I would totally get this tattoo! (except the American flag, way too showy for my tastes.) Yay for Facetious Fridays! -Marissa

Nick Patrick: Did Americans in 1776 have British... →
Reading David McCullough’s 1776, I found myself wondering: Did Americans in 1776 have British accents? If so, when did American accents diverge from British accents? The answer surprised me. I’d always assumed that Americans used to have British accents, and that American accents diverged…
