Following Prince Andrew's renunciation, the title Duke of York is up for grabs. Rubber Ptarmigan's founder Norman Peanut will travel to Buckingham Palace this week for an interview. The Dukedom was in fact held by the Peanut clan centuries ago, until it was stolen by Thomas the Heckler. Boo him!

Week 30 of the year is here!
Is it a weak week?
No!
Is it a wack week?
Maybe!
Is it a wink week?
You tell me...
Is it a work week?
Not if you walk out to see some of the wicked comedy shows on offer all week long. Which you should! It's what Wick would want.

Life is a highway. And you should pull off at the nearest comedy venue because driving on it is hard and stressful and nobody uses their blinkers and gas is expensive and it's better to be indoors laughing at stuff. Take the off-ramp to these comedy shows this week!

It's a Memorial Manifest! All today's remembering can really take it out of you. Save this list of upcoming shows so you don't have to commit the details to memory. But don't forget: comedy is one of the best ways to keep your brain active and un-demented. Come out and laugh -- for your health!

Did you think comedy was gonna take a breather this week? As if. Comedy is basically the antithesis of breathing -- except that both are vital for higher-order organic life. Get out and suck up some comedy at a show this week! It's that or perish.
