Go Comedy! is ready to go where local news fears to tread. Super Action News will take metro Detroiters to the funny side of the headlines. Quick bites, sketch comedy, and in-depth reporting will shed a comedic light on what’s happening in Metro Detroit and beyond. The Super Action News team; Anne Faba (Clinton Township) Louie Krause (Garden City), Matt Naas (Ferndale) and Mikey Wilson (Detroit) along with special guests and correspondents from the Go Comedy! family and stage manager Pete Jacokes ( Ferndale ) present the latest scoop every Thursday night at 9pm through November 5.
Shim and D’rothy is written and performed by Go Comedy! member Ryan Parmenter ( Southfield ) and Carrie Hall ( Berkley ). Shim fancies himself a comedian. D'rothy fancies herself a social crusader. Together they put on a heck of a show that’s part educational presentation, part variety show, and a lot of hilarity. Directed by Jaime Moyer ( Detroit ) with stage direction by Peter Jacokes ( Ferndale ), Shim & D’rothy incorporates multimedia elements by Mikey Brown ( Ferndale ) and choreography by Lauren Bickers ( Ferndale ), it plays Thursday nights at 9:30pm through November 5.
Beginning Thursday, October 1st Thursday nights at 8pm will showcase a series of Go Comedy! original presentations by members of Go Comedy!’s casts. Thursday, October 1st will feature a performance of Manny and Sol: Guys Gone Wild with Go Comedy! Generation Gap members Peter Werthmann and Alan Fox. The two appear as Manny and Sol - retired guys gone wild looking to reconnect with today’s youth and to see the world. Super Action News and Shim & D'rothy will preview immediately following Manny and Sol.

D'rothy and I are very excited to have our first Web-Site!
We have heard so many great things about the fascinating advances in Computer-based information sharing that we knew we had to get involved.
I have an Amiga 2000 Home Computer (HC), which a technologically gifted neighborchild was able to fasten together with a 14.4 KBAUD (I don't know what that means, but thankfully young Gary does!) modem, which is like a telephone line for your computer. It's amazing. I have already been able to "surf the web" to different 'Sites, and I have even found a HomePage which allows me to download WAV (pronounced "wave," I found out) sounds, like a bird chirp. I guess it's time to save up for speakers.
D'rothy does not have a computer, but I told her she can use mine any time she wants to. When I told her that there are free Word Jumble games on the InterNet, she almost blew a gasket, which is slang for making a pastry in celebration.
I can't wait to surf more of the Web and report about the fun things I found. I hope I don't get any "viruses" or "comp bugs"! Wish me luck. Or should I say *e-luck>/boldfont<!
