Ugh. Oof. Yikes. These guttural sounds are all natural reactions to the fact that another week on this gosh-darn Earth has started, as is commiserating via improv comedy from FTW. For seven years, Fuck This Week’s cast has been offering a hilarious panacea to the weekly troubles afflicting us all by way of audience-supplied improv prompts. Anything from a stubbed toe to a bad hair day can be spun into goofy gold, but you gotta be there to see that magic happen. I mean, what else are you up to on a Monday? – James Scott 616/676-7209
