The Slipper Room presents THE (M)ORONS HAPPY HOUR, a new variety show created and performed by Alex Brightman, Drew Gasparini, F. Michael Haynie, and Andrew Kober on Monday, December 8th at 9pm. In anticipation, BroadwayWorld brings you an exclusive look at the guys' recent photoshoot for the upcoming premiere!

The (M)orons-composer Drew Gasparini (Crazy, Just Like Me) and Broadway's Alex Brightman (Matilda), F. Michael Haynie (Wicked), and Andrew Kober (Les Miserables)-bring you a night of ridiculous, grotesque, alcohol- fueled debauchery with the world premiere of THE (M)ORONS HAPPY HOUR, New York's newest variety show. Paying homage to the greats who came before them (The Rat Pack, Martin & Lewis), these incredibly lovable, utterly hilarious, and always inappropriate gents will pack more music, laughter, magic, explosions, surprises, special guests, and farts than you've ever dreamed of (or frankly, wanted) into an hour and a half.

As described by the (M)orons: "Be a part of this historic premiere performance and ten years from now, when THE (M)ORONS HAPPY HOUR is winding down its run as one of NYC's leading variety acts (and the (M)orons haven't changed one bit), you'll be able to say that you were there when. We mentioned there will be a clown, right? We didn't? There will be. This show is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18. In fact, this show may not be suitable for anyone at all. Come to think of it, you probably shouldn't come."

THE (M)ORONS HAPPY HOUR, a new variety show created and performed by Alex Brightman, Drew Gasparini, F. Michael Haynie, and Andrew Kober, plays The Slipper Room (167 Orchard Street) on December 8, 2014 at 9pm. Tickets start at $20. For more information or to purchase tickets visit www.slipperroom.com.
