Mr. B is remounting the WNEP Theater show The Sickest F***ing Stories I Ever Heard and I'll be performing in this free preview of the show. The show features five performers playing real poker, drinking real beer, and telling real stories. Real sick stories, to boot.

The Sickest F***in' Stories I Ever Heard is a story-telling show with a simple premise--5 performers play a real game of poker, drink real beer* and smoke real cigars** and tell real, and really sick, stories from their lives. SFSIEH was created by WNEP Theater's Don Hall and FuzzyCo's Shaun Himmerick.

This performance will feature Chicago, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City improvisors. It follows the Saturday night performance of the Neutrino Project Utah, and so the start time is approximate. The entire enterprise is sponsored by The Slapstick Association.
