Yes, hello, this is Soapbox, I was calling hoping to talk to the presidential candidates about hosting the next debate for them.....yes, I understand the venue has already been picked, but let me tell you something about Soapbox at The Accord....
We do comedy. I mean, our lives are a tragic comedy and we find funny ways to talk about it to strangers under bright stage lights, usually with strong drink in hand, but it's comedy. Hilarious stuff. We once had Kristen Lundberg tear the house down, Ben Banach had them pi***ng in their seats. The roast of Nora Fitton was a packed mad house, people leaving delirious from humor, there are still audience members checked in to sanatoriums, lives ruined from how fu**in' funny it was.....
Sorry, I'll refrain from strong language. What I'm trying to tell you is that after the last debate, I see why it went wrong. You guys were putting on a comedy show on a college campus, and while that's all well and good, we think you'd really kill at The Accord with us. I can offer you one (1) free drink per performer....yes, sorry, "candidate", and I'll even pay gas cash. Uh huh....yes.....yes.....well, how much gas does it take to fill an armored limo? I see..... ok, well, just wanted to offer you a real opportunity here. Like tonight, we have some great comics, guys like Dwayne Duke, Juan Villeta-Garcia and Steve Schaberg.....Steve Schaberg, ya know, the hilarious alt comic known for his sweater and hilarious on-stage hi-jinks? STEVE SCHABERG! YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THE HELL STEVE SCHABERG IS?!?!?!? HELLO? HELLO?!?!?!
Well, I tried. Showcase tonight, 7pm @ The Accord.

Good day, Soapboxers.
Just to keep you up to date, our next showcase will be Thursday, September 29th. We're taking a few weeks to rest up and shake our summer hangover off. We'll be back at The Accord with an all new, completely re-tooled (lol) showcase with some of our very best comics.
Hope all is well with you, say hi to your mom for me. Send us cookies and nudes.
Love,
Soapbox: Stand-Up

On the menu this evening, if it pleasures m'lady, we bring to you the finest and most succulent comics in town. To rouse our appetites, we start with baked George Cruickshank. Our first course is a fresh-caught Brody Sparks roasted in a garlic sauce, followed by steamed Jordan Hall with fresh-cracked black pepper, and the main course being a fully roasted Christopher Hightower in a brown sugar flambe.
Dinner is served at 7pm tonight at The Accord, no reservations required, $3 suggested donations to pay the weeping families of our sacrificed comics.

Thursday. Showcase day. We wake up early, drink 3 raw eggs, purge, then drink coffee infused with to***co scraps. Carpe Diem, mo********er.
Next, we laze around like 18th century French aristocrats, then around 5, we look at the clock, collectively mutter "s**t" and then put on pants.
Then we do the damn thing. Just like tonight. Excellent line-up, we've got Juan Villeta-Garcia coming home to host, Michael LeBuhn to kick things off, the lovely Charlie Hester, then headlining with the prodigal son Collin Bullock. The Accord, 7pm, no cover, $3 suggested donation for the comics.

It's a new miracle product from the makers of "Microwave Eggz" and "I Can't Believe It's Not Coconut Oil", Boxco proudly presents "Soapbox Showcase", tonight at The Accord, 7pm.
Regular stand-up comics not cutting it for you, seem a little hacky, maybe they've been doing the same bits for a few years and you just want something fresh and new in your life? Try SB Showcase. Studies show that people who regularly attend the showcase are 55% more likely to find a sexual partner, 64% more likely to become intoxicated and 89% more likely to finally pick up the phone and call their dad's after years of silence to finally "form some sort of relationship."
No cover, $3 suggested donation, which is hella chea....I mean, very affordable.

Oh, excuse me, so sorry, let me just...sorry, I'll clean that up in just a minute. Come on in, sorry, sorry, sorry.
I didn't see you there, I was so busy enjoying this 1989 VHS copy of "The Explorers" I didn't notice you pounding on my door. Where have I been? Well, I'd like to say I've been busy or on vacation, but to be completely honest, I've been busy watching re-runs, keeping my local Steak N' Shake busy with triple garlic burgers and cutting my toenails with a pair of dog nail clippers.
A showcase? Really, you want another one? I dunno, I'm like halfway through this movie "The Explorers", and though I've been watching it on a loop the last 3 days, I really feel I might get something from it this time.
A showcase? Well....if you insist, I do have a little something up my sleeve, next to the stale Cheetoh. How about Brody Sparks, Tyler Carter and Wayne Guenther, live at The Accord, this Thursday, 7pm. Is that ok?
Awesome, thanks so much for stopping by, but if you'll excuse me, I have important work to attend to.
Yes, it's finishing this viewing of "The Explorers", it's River Phoenix's finest work. Thank you, and goodbye.
