Those hilarious sketch comedy boys of The Habit are back with "The Habit 14". And if you like to laugh and aren't afraid of a little blue humor then you really should bring yourself down to The Bathhouse Theatre for the latest antics of one of the best and consistently awesome comedy troupes in town.

It's no rules sketch comedy at its best from the demented minds of the Habit boys, Ryan Dobosh, John Osebold, Mark Siano, David Swidler and Lucas Thayer along with their director Jeff Schell. And whether you're in the mood for an animal courtroom, an ode to the rising housing costs in Seattle or Nuns with the need for speed you're in for a treat. You'll never know what to expect as their comedic brilliance ping pongs from one topic to another.

The thing I love about sketch comedy (aside from laughing your butt off) is that even if one sketch falls a little flat with you, wait a few minutes and you'll have something new to tickle your funny bone. And the guys do manage the laughs. But beyond their clever writing you get a total sense of just hanging out with the coolest and funniest friends you have as they riff off each other for your amusement. Not a group of performers but a bunch of really fun guys.

And whether you're a Habit aficionado and have been there for Habits 1-13 or a Habit virgin you're in for an incredible night. No prior knowledge is needed other than knowing how to laugh. I really don't want to say too much about the show lest I give away all the jokes but I will give this show a solid and unabashed YAY with my three letter rating system. I've been a fan of these boys for a few years now and look forward to each installment and they do not disappoint. But get your tickets quick as they've built up quite a following and tend to sell out.

"The Habit 14" performs at The Bathhouse Theatre through November 30th. For tickets or information visit them online at www.thehabitcomedy.com.
