Cleanse your palette
and prepare your taste buds for a dash of Sweet
Paprika! I promise this lineup of six comedians
will have you laughing until you don't want to
anymore… Let's face it; this election year has
been very stressful. As Americans we have demanded
answers to some of our nation's most important
questions. Where do the presidential candidates
stand on war? Domestic policy? Human rights
issues? And why exactly do they look like that? So
why not continue the laughter and relieve the
stress by going to a comedy.
While Bush and Kerry
took their stance on imperative world issues, the
Sweet Paprika comics vocalized issues of their
own, except theirs are the type you discuss with
your therapist, not with your Congress.
Here's what I
mean:
Comedian Jeffrey
James raised my awareness on the issue of
prejudice. He explains that among all the
discrimination in the world, there is no greater
prejudice than that against people who are missing
their two front teeth. This harsh reality forced
me to look at my own discriminatory behavior and
that's when I realized that toothless people are
no different than you and me. Just because they
use thimbles as toothpicks, doesn't mean they
aren't people too. Thank you, Jeff James, for
making me a better person. Because of you, instead
of pointing and laughing the next time I see a
toothless individual, I will just point.
As an American, I
understand the needs of our country. We need a
more stimulated economy, better job opportunities,
improved healthcare, and most importantly, we are
in desperate need of more Donald Trump hairstyle
jokes. That's why when Shelagh Ratner started
taking shots at the most notorious head of hair
since Don King, I knew she would make a great
comedic leader.
So on Friday nights,
I'm casting my vote for Allison Castillo, Ophira Eisenberg, and
all the comics of Sweet Paprika, because just like
the Presidential candidates, these comedians are
really funny to laugh at!
