Falling after some major (ish) holidays, JW will present some hopefully somewhat appropriately timed and themed skits, including reprising past characters of Jules' Cheech and Ellchemi's YoMomma, who will wind up being set to couple's therapy.

Other hopeful artists who intend to join schedules permitting include musician Timbo Arnoldo and the return of the great musical puppeteer Devon Ludlow, depending upon life, health, work, etc.

In addition to reprising past characters, bits and concepts, we will reprise, refined and rebirthed of course, some of our recurring beloved bits including Ask the Revisionist Historian in which the audience can ask questions of our experts, including our masked young geniuses.
