This Sunday! NO FUN after Christmas! Again!

Did you miss NO FUN at Christmas this year? A ridiculously entertaining, entertainingly ridiculous festival of inspired seasonal idiocy, now with extra Wenceslas! Have you never heard "Elf Toymaker" performed live? (David Bowie's "Moonage Daydream" as re-interpreted by overworked, union-minded elves?). Are you hipped to the alternate uses of an uncooked turkey? Fear not, friends, if you've missed out to date, because THIS SUNDAY AT LANALOU's, David M. and the NO FUN gang take to the stage again, including possibly yours truly, to deliver NO FUN After Christmas, a seasonal event like none other (except for the pre-Christmas one that took place a couple of weeks ago, also at LanaLou's, from which my video evidence derives). More background here, if you want it, but really, no homework is required: there will be stuff that goes over your head no matter what you do ("Mommy, why is that man dangling a bat?"). Also see here, about the recent spate of NO FUN reissues happening in the US-of-M, or here, for audio evidence of a classic NO FUN at Christmas set from 1987, or, like, here, for my first disparaging review of this NO FUN at Christmas phenomenon, written in 2004, forgotten about, then discovered by David sometime around 2016, long after we had become friends. To be read live onstage while I am flogged with strands of Gorgo! 

I mean, what the hell ELSE are you gonna do this Sunday? Come to LanaLou's! (And come for dinner! The poutine is real good -- or have a quesadilla!).
