This past Wednesday night in the city of Los Angeles, Gorilla Flicks and Superjacket Productions came together in Voltron-like fashion to host a night of free comedy at the Covenant House. If you're like me and had no prior idea about the Covenant House, it's an organization that provides basic needs, e.g. shelter, food, crisis care, transitional living assistance, and several other services, to homeless and runaway youth. In addition to the laughs and stories provided by the night's special guests—MC Brandon Broady, Rob O'Reilly, Ryan Conner, Eric Andre, Wee-Man, Chris Pontius, and Steve-O—there was a crap ton of pizza and various goods available to the Covenant House residents before and after the show, all thanks to generous donations made by several companies and individuals.

Left to right: Chris Pontius regaled the crowd with a selection of timeless stories and giggles from his trip to Okinawa, Japan while filming for the first jackass movie; Eric Andre threw caution to the wind and gave a no holds barred performance that may have caused at least one person to urinate while laughing (I know that for a fact because I am that person and I should probably get my bladder checked out or at least start stocking up on Depends for my retirement years).
Left to right: Thanks to Rob O'Reilly, I now have a better understanding of the cervix, dilation, and what horrors may happen when a baby pops out bottom first; Wee-Man planted his flag in the grounds of urination and all the pee-pee that his wee-wee has sprayed over the years (and mostly on Tremaine); Ryan Conner, of NBC's Last Comic Standing fame, is also a writer on Ridiculousness.
Steve-O closed the night out with an amazing recount of his "worst protest ever," when he scaled a 150-foot high crane in Hollywood in defense of Shamu and wound up in a whole heap of trouble, a spot of jail time, and a really big bill from the city. Yeah, dude!
