By Josiah M. Hesse Wed., Apr. 24 2013 at 2:35 PM

Categories: Comedy, Nightlife

Beloved Denver comedian Mara Wiles has received a heartwarming amount of support from the local comedy community in the face of her battle with lupus. Leading up to her kidney transplant last month, several benefit performances raised funds to help cover her mounting medical bills -- and while everyone is now celebrating her return to health (and comedy), the all-too-familiar dilemma of health-care costs has inspired another charity performance, this one spearheaded by Wiles's former thespian haunt, Impulse Theater.

When it comes to fashion, there are trends and then there are trendsetters. Trends are often derived from the runway, and they trickle down to more accessible department stores. One local trendsetter we spotted this week is tattoo artist Airen VanDiggelen, who was rocking two-tone leggings: one white and one black to go with with her neon-pink locks.

Naked audience night at Denver's Dangerous Theatre!

Since apes don't wear clothes, the actors playing apes in Dark Wood, a Dangerous Theatre production that opened February 8, don't wear clothes, either. And on "Nude Night," set for this Friday, February 22, many of the audience members will strip down, too: It's a clothing-optional evening, and those who watch the show buck-naked won't have to shell out any bucks to see it.

By Josiah M. Hesse Fri., Feb. 1 2013 at 11:25 AM

Categories: Comedy, Events, Lists, Nightlife, Performance

With Denver's local comedy scene finally beginning to catch up with Comedy Work's national acts -- in terms of both talent and swelling audience numbers -- we figured it was time to assemble some of our favorite standup shows for the coming month. As we salivate over the smorgasbord of Denver's incredible hometown humorists and the big-name comedians passing through the more formal comedy clubs, we're overwhelmed by the challenge of deciding which gut-busting event to attend on any given night of the week.

Crash 45 celebrates Murray Mania on Groundhog Day

By Susan Froyd Fri., Feb. 1 2013 at 6:00 AM

Categories: Film and TV, Nightlife, Popular Culture

February is the month of the Super Bowl, Mardi Gras and Valentine's Day, but there's really only one holiday that counts: Groundhog Day. Not because we take that shadow stuff seriously, but because Groundhog Day is silly, and silly things -- especially those having to do with Groundhog Day -- make us think of Bill Murray. And we love Bill Murray. Again and again and again.
