Nine years ago when Bald Faced Lie first started making regular appearances in Seattle theatres, there was no sketch comedy in Seattle. They started a trend but no other local group has been so consistently successful.
They’ve just announced that they’re hanging up their whoopee cushions. After dozens of local shows, after headlining comedy festivals around the U.S. and Canada, after innumerable NPR appearances, it’s all over.
I have a soft spot in my heart for that whole gang. They hired me to Music Direct their first year on stage, and together we created a series of delightful Comic Operas.
You can hear their first-ever NPR show here. It shows their off-beat style was there from the very beginning and it still makes me laugh. Best wishes, liars, with whatever comes next. I’m looking forward to your first reunion show!
