THE TANK SPACE FOR PERFORMING AND VISUAL ARTS

Another evening of Laughter from the Left. Featuring comedians from HBO, Comedy Central and the Laughing Liberally National Tour, see the show that made Howard Dean laugh, right-wing media fume and entertained Americans from sea to shining sea. With new performers and materials each week.

Start Trekkin' is the premier long-form improv comedy troupe in New York City, performing
improvised shows based on the original Series of Star Trek. Many say what they do is
magic...some call it science. But be you primitive minded subspecies, or super-intelligent
beings with no moral fibre and an Oedipus complex, they'll still warp your mind to the far
reaches of funny.

Boston-area comedian Erin Judge (Comedy Central's *Live at Gotham*) teams up with Ailin Conant (Artistic Director of Theatre Temoin) for this hilarious examination of contemporary marriage.

Erin and Ailin have been friends (and sometimes, *ahem*, more than friends) since *college*. Now in their mid-twenties, these two women both find themselves in the unexpected position of being somebody's wife. Ailin also *HAS* a wife (which is pretty confusing for people's grandmothers), while Erin has a husband, matching towels, and a huge white dress that she has justifed holding on to by doing this show. *The Meaning of Wife* is part sketch comedy, part public relations campaign, and all way too much information about Erin and Ailin. This funny and brutally honest piece explores what marriage looks like in some of its newest manifestations (read: gay ones) and its most traditional (read: a white dude and a white chick), and what every kind of marriage has to teach us all about what it means to be a wife.
