We Love the Eighties

Just the Funny’s gigglefest will be, like, totally awesome

Published on August 02, 2007

Maybe you spent the Eighties playing with your Transformers or Teddy Ruxpin. Perhaps you spent them moping around the corridors of your high school channeling your inner Morrissey. Or just possibly you spent countless hours trying to perfect the break-dancing moves of Turbo and Ozone. No matter. Twenty years later, there’s one thing we can all agree on: What the hell were we thinking? Thankfully, enough time has passed that we can laugh at our Day-Glo past. Miami’s Just the Funny improv comedy troupe will make sure you do just that, with two Back to the Eighties shows skewering and celebrating the era.

“What’s not funny about the Eighties?” says troupe member and admitted parachute pants owner David Christopher. “They were big, bad, loud, shameless, and over-the-top.” Dig up your Menudo lunchbox and head for the Miami Museum of Science and Planetarium tonight for two Chicago-style improv performances.
Sat., Aug. 4, 9 & 11 p.m.
