Tonight is the final night of the 2008 Charleston Comedy Festival. If you haven’t been out by now to see some of these terrific acts, don’t worry. There’s plenty of tickets left. Go here to find out more. Meanwhile, I had a chance to see The Apple Sisters Variety Show, Hot Sauce, DCUP’s The Simons and a teenzy little bit of the end of Murder, She Wrote, by Atlanta’s Dad’s Garage. All of them were worthy of seeing more than once. And indeed you can do just that. They’re all performing again tonight. Personally, I liked the Apple Sisters so much, I might see them again if I weren’t going to miss so much other topnotch comedy.
