Parody is still the best form of comedy. And while we love a good chuckle in any form, comedy has also steadily found music to be latest and greatest new medium of expression. Joke groups and bands and duos and solo artists make us laugh track after track, but how…

Christmas is over. You got together with your family and reflected on a great year. You ate yourself silly and probably drank plenty of booze. If the thought of spending one more night attached to the dining room table listening to your uncle’s same jokes or your cousin’s inappropriate college…

Do you ever sit at your desk and not work? Well, obviously. But how about instead of finishing those TPS reports, you find yourself staring out the window, conjuring the best way to break out of the working-blues shackles? Well then, chances are good you have seen 9 to 5…

There are more Christmas destinations than the mall and Walmart. During the time of year when everyone has a case of the gimme-gimmes, wouldn’t it be nice to bring your kids back down to Earth with a little culture? The Historic Stranahan House Museum is all about the holidays but…

Yo, don’t tell too many people, but it’s cold everywhere else. We don’t want to jinx it. But since our South Florida Christmas won’t be so white, why not take advantage of it? The fact that we are still outside in tanks and shorts at the end of December makes…

‘Tis the season of eating and drinking. But mostly drinking (no offense, eating). Beers, eggnog, the weird moonshine your uncle made; it all comes out to play during the holidays. But after a morning of the fuzzies, have you ever questioned your drinking choices? Maybe it’s time to class it…

Do you ever sit at your desk and not work? Well, obviously. But how about instead of finishing those TPS reports, you find yourself staring out the window, conjuring up the best way to break out of the working blues shackles? Well then chances are good you have seen 9…

Black Friday is finally behind us. The wrenching pseudo-holiday that sees middle-aged Americans brawling over big-screen TV sets does not leave shoppers with a superior reputation. The new keyword in shopping is “local.” And if you still have to complete your Christmas gift list or are looking for something to…

Art has been around since the dawn of man. As spectators, sometimes we get stuck on the Norman Rockwells and Claude Monets of the world. But art is constantly evolving, and we can’t focus only on the classics. Contemporary 21st-century artists are artists too — real, live, walking artists whose…

‘Tis the season, and you know what that means — a bunch of holiday-themed walks/runs/marathons/jumping-jack contests/pogo-stick hopping/etc. ad nauseam. We get it, middle-class America: We need to exercise. But all that waking up at 4 a.m. on a Saturday is really cramping our style. Finally, someone is breaking the mold…

Any cause of death is tragic, but loss by way of suicide is particularly wrenching. You are left with unanswered questions and countless “what ifs.” East Broward Out of the Darkness strives to raise awareness while raising money for suicide prevention programs and helping loved ones looking for a way…

Black Friday be damned! Shopping megaholidays like Black Friday and Cyber Monday might seem like a good idea to your wallet, but what about to your local community? Put your dollars back into your downtown instead of up the corporate ladder. The trick is, it’s not even that difficult. Black…

People who say they don’t like musicals are just lying to themselves. The jams are legit, and the moves are smooth. The result is a spectacle and full sensory experience. OK, we get it, though. The song and dance might not be your cup of tea. Luckily, for Broadway lovers…

Oh, Thanksgiving morning. The calm before the storm. The quiet rise of turkey smells, or is that your 12-year-old cousin who hasn’t learned about deodorant yet? Thanksgiving is a mess of family coming together to give thanks and food coming together to be awesome. Before the stuffing hits the oven,…
