Just in time for the political storm kicking up from Washington to our own Capitol, the talented comic crew at Esther’s have cooked up a topical tiramisu – delicious and sort of hard to make on your own so just let the experts do it, you know? From their rat-a-tat hot takes on Hunter Biden’s pardon – Breaking! A father loves his son! – to satirical skits on AI in health care where “R.F.K. Jr. even makes an appearance to weigh in,” there’s a little ha-ha here for all stars and stripes. Plus the spectacular Ray Anderson stuns once again with a new illusion, “In Love With a Monster,” that stands next to old standards like magic mirrors, explosive cannons, and disappearing assistants. Did they maybe disappear with the enchanting monster? – James Scott
