FUCT (www.fuctnyc.com) is setting houses on fire, both literally and figuratively. In a recent performance, 'Boy's Night Out,' six of the male cast members, donning full mustaches, sprayed the packed audience with 'lighter fluid' and explained that the night could only end in a Bacchanalian orgy that sounded like a scene from 'Saw.' All of this to raise money for The Prostate Cancer Foundation, The Lance Armstrong Foundation (LIVESTRONG), and plane tickets to the 10th annual Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival.
