Comedian Sabrina Matthews was scuba diving off the coast of Myanmar when she was attacked by a barracuda that sliced through her diving mask and slit her left eyeball wide open. A year and several operations later, Sabrina sees the world in a whole new way.

Being a comedian and having a disability is like being a superhero in a comic book with the heightened powers of keen observation. Sabrian’s noticed almost all eye injuries portrayed in movies involve the left eye while the right eye is the untouched or sacred eye of film?

Join us as Sabrina fill us in on her life and experience as a stand up comedian. Just because she’s gay doesn’t mean that she hasn’t noticed what men do with their own packages. Why do guys touch themselves so much? Why do comedians look down on dick jokes? We have the answers.

Also:
Australians up in arms that over emu and kangaroo flavored potato chips because the animals are the national symbols of Oz.

Safe and sustainable fish to eat.

Santas in Estonia give up their whips so they won’t frighten the children.

And a statue of Michelangelo’s David on Texas lawn is dressed up as a sexy St. Nick which leaves children asking “Why is Santa naked?”

Due to the economy, many are staying home this holiday season with their friends instead of traveling to see their extended families.

A lot may find themselves attending celebrations outside of their own experience, lighting Kwanzaa candles, spinning dradles and popping firecrackers. This year everbody’s trying something new.

We’re busy brewing our very own special Christmas kombucha, a delicious fermented tea beverage which traces its origins to Russia and China. The magical elixir is the tasty byproduct of a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast that feeds off of the sweet tea.

America’s lesbian sweetheart Cameron Esposito joins us. She just finished taping her comedy album “Grab Them Aghast” at the Lincoln Lodge this past week and she’s here to talk about her experience and what’s next.

Here’s some “Horrors of Christmas” pictures- the first is a cancer treatment center that has an overabundance of holiday lights as if to say to their patients “Your last Christmas will be the brightest.” And the second photo looks as though they just buried the Baby Jesus.

In the news:

Musician John Mayer bombs at a comedy club, making awkward jokes at the expense of rising comedian Kumail Nanjiani.

Adam Lambert’s upcoming appearance on the View will be taped ahead of time because producers worry that his gayness might be too much for daytime TV.

Solitaire Miles, Marc Felion and Fausto Fernós get attacked by the Krampus

How disappointing! The New York State Senate voted to reject Marriage Equality, leaving the majority of people in the state who support the bill wondering- who are they representing? Why the hate?

But it’s not all bad news- Family Ties star Meredith Baxter comes out of the closet as a woman loving woman, ignoring the advice from her gal pal Rupert Evert to keep her lezzie loving ways a secret, since openly gay actors have a harder time finding work in Hollywood.

Although Christmas is days away, Europeans are getting read to celebrate St. Nick’s Day, where the good kids get candy, and the bad kids get coal or even taken away by Krampus, a demonic looking figure with fur, horns and a long pink tongue.

Marc’s friend Solitaire Miles joins us to give us the scoop on Santa’s Satanic-looking sidekick.

thehappyhustler In the mid 70s, long before coming out of the closet was considered a career move in Hollywood, Michael Kearns was famous for becoming the out gay model and spokesperson for the popular book, “The Happy Hustler” even though he didn’t write it.

Prompted by the AIDS-related death of “Midnight Express” star Brad Davis in 1991, Michael made history when came forward on television as being HIV positive at a time when so many people were afraid to divulge their status.

He later appeared on the TV shows Life Goes On and Beverly Hills 90210 as a man living with HIV.

Today Michael is re-staging his one man show “Intimacies’” for a 20 year anniversary tour. The show features six characters identified by the placement of a red scarf to tell six diferent monolouges on the AIDS crisis of the early 80s. Never in the history of theater has a red scarf meant so much!

Who was it? Listen to today’s show and find out. And we mean out.

Jackie Hoffman with Marc Felion and Fausto Fernós

Many women would kill for the role of Grandmama in the all new The Addams Family musical, but Jackie Hoffman says she’s pissed because she doesn’t get to sing her own song and her stage time is being whittled down to next to nothing.

So while she’s in town, she’s doing double duty in her comedy cabaret show “Whining in the Windy City” which promises to skewer everything that is merry for the holidays with biting, fearless stand up comedy and original songs. Jackie’s going to spill the beans on working on Broadway and dish the dirt on her comedy peers from Chicago like Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, and the Sedaris siblings who, as she says, are now more famous than she is.

She’s hilarious and hateful, and she’s in the home studio. Look out!

Jackie doesn’t hold back her true feelings about the new Addams Family musical, her funniest moment on stage ever and why the holidays and children are so annoying to her.

Don’t miss“Whining in the Windy City” at the Royal George Cabaret, 1641 N. Halsted, Monday evenings, November 30 – December 21, at 7:30 p.m.

In the news:
Robert Pattison goes on David Letterman and talks about how everyone wants him to take a bite out of them, even a 250 pound Mexican man.

Sarah Palin tells Oprah “You’re not the center of the world.”

and a father in Minnesota teaches his song Klingon by only speaking to him in the artificial language for the first three years of his life. Believe it or not, the father says he isn’t really a huge Star Trek.
