Beaches 2 is a sketch comedy group, and they have a monthly comedy show! This month, they will go back to the future. Maybe there will be robots. Maybe the future is only ten minutes from now. Who knows what will happen??!! The comedy show, presented by Horse Trade Theater Group and Beaches 2, will play at Under St Marks Theater (94 St. Marks Place between 1st and A) Wednesday, September 28th @ 9pm. Tickets ($5) are available at the door. The theater serves beer and wine!
Every last Wednesday of the month, Beaches 2 will bring you a brand new hour-long sketch comedy show! Each month they choose a theme and write thousands of jokes on that topic. Past topics include farts, the holidays,
John Travolta, pageants, after-school specials, and bad mommies. Beaches 2: sketch comedy for best friends.

Bob and Tobly McSmith are two disease-carrying monkeys that should probably be quarantined. They have been nominated for a cornucopia of honors including: Class Favorite (Tobly, 5th Grade), Class Masturbator (Bob, 1st-12th Grade), and most recently: Most Likely to Be Arrested on a Playground. Bob and Tobly have one cat that has been dead for two years, wrote and directed two "successful" off-Broadway "plays" based on TV's Saved by the Bell, and are webmasters of the rarely updated and highly offensive: prettyponyparty.com.
Ben Lerman is the composer and host for Beaches 2! If the Flight of the Conchords and
Stephen Lynch had a gay lovechild, it would be NYC's ukulele comedian Ben Lerman. Ben plays his solo comedy concert of original, twisted songs all over the country. You can hear him regularly on the Keith and the Girl podcast and on the
Frank DeCaro Show on Sirius Radio. Please look at him and listen to him at benlerman.net. "Hilarious... Lerman is an extremely talented singer-songwriter." --Fringe Guru, Edinburgh
