Those ‘Damn!’ guys are back with their ‘Damn! Show’
Draw a line in the sand, and tell the guys of the "Damn! Show" that they can’t cross it. But before you can tell them any comedy that crosses that line goes too far, they’ve already hopped over it and are looking for another line to jump.
Tonight, the people behind the sketch comedy troupe the "Damn! Show" once again will bring their warped and insanely funny brand of browless comedy to The Georgia Theatre.
This show, according to cast members Waco O’Guin and Matt Chastain, promises to be even more risque and brutally hilarious than the shows before it.
"Every one of our shows have been better (than the preceding one)," O’Guin said. "This one’s the best we’ve done yet."
Tonight’s show will be more audience interactive.
On top of the stand-up comedy and music that normally accompany a showing of the sketch comedy, the audience will be able to participate in a beer chugging contest and may win a raffle for Waco’s Toyota Celica.
The Celica, which has been painted to look like the General Lee, has been featured in several sketches and may one day be a collector’s item for those serious "Damn! Show" fans out there.
Waco and Chastain also promise some additional surprises for the audience.
Tonight will also mark the debut of "Rack’em Rack Willy," the show’s new featured homeless person.
"Rack’em Rack Willy" will try to follow in the footsteps of past famous "Damn! Show" characters Cherokee and Jimmy Gibberish who weren’t available to take part in this show.

"Many people say that he’s the funniest bum in town," Chastain said.
To their critics who say the "Damn! Show" goes too far in its treatment of certain types of people, O’Guin responded by saying "we’re equal opportunity offenders. We don’t go after any specific races or groups. We go after stereotypes."
"Yeah, stereotypes are funny," Chastain added.
