‘This Is Casually Happening: A Comedy Showcase’ features a diverse group of professional comedians from St. Charles County By Brett Auten With the day-to-day headlines and soundbites along with our daytime hours gradually shrinking, who doesn’t need a good laugh? A cadre of local comics with legitimate pedigrees are looking to do just that with “This Is Casually Happening: A Comedy Showcase” featuring comedians from St. Charles County. The Funny Bone Streets of Saint Charles, located at 1520 S 5th St., Suite 107, will play host on Nov. 8, beginning at 7:30 p.m. The lineup for the evening will consist of Mollie Amburgey, Mychael Anthony, Jimmy Day, Andy Hamilton, Brendan Olson and Jevon Westmoland.
The night of guffaws is the brainchild of Amburgey. She hosts The Casually Mollie Podcast that interviews comedians, musicians, and a variety of entertainers from Missouri, as well as from around the country. She moved to the area a little over a year ago and hand-picked these professional comedians herself. “I wanted to pick people who were from the same area with different material and a different story,” she said. “All comics just want you to come and have a good time. Leave your work life at the door and enjoy the show. That is what comedy is here for.” Anthony is the veteran of the group. He grew up in St. Peters and recently returned from being in Los Angeles. After graduating
from Francis Howell North High School, he earned a degree from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. The acting bug forced Anthony to take classes at St. Louis’ Center of Creative Arts and The Muny. During those years, he literally paid for his dinner by performing, writing lyrics, rapping, and co-managing the group, KRT (Knights of the Round Table). Along with being the opening act for various rap groups, including 2Live Crew and performing at various hip hop clubs, he co-wrote songs used in sports highlights for both the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Rams. In 2005, his group won the MidSee ‘LAUGHS’ page 2
