In a show to benefit Furry Faces Foundation, comics Cathy Sorbo and Rod Long bring their skewed love observations to the historic Admiral Theater in West Seattle with a pre-Valentine’s Day show titled, “Love Sucks (when it’s good).”
“This is kind of an anti-Valentine show,” muses Sorbo. “February 14th puts a strain on single people or those who might not be dating currently. Even couples in love will undoubtedly recognize some of the similar semi-stupid things we do in relationships and get a chuckle.”
Sorbo and Long will present their stand-up embellished with relationship themes and cap-off the evening with a mini-counseling session with the audience.
“Love ain’t all hearts and roses,” submits Sorbo. “I’ve been married going on 18 years now, but I’m a recovering slut — you know what they say: one day at a time.”
Rod Long weighs in on his participation:
“I can’t wait to get my twice-divorced ass onstage and give out sound relationship advice.” He adds, “I have always found that when people are in ridiculous emotional transition that it’s hard to find somebody that just might be your soul mate. Unless, of course, you belong to eharmony.com where true love is but a click or three away from becoming reality.”
The foundation aides in many programs that benefit people and their pets. For example; “It’s Hip to Be Snipped” program helps fund spay/neuter of pets whose people who are on fixed/limited incomes and also the spay/neuter of feral cats.
The group also sponsors “Oliver’s Fund” which assists people on restricted income with unexpected veterinarian bills, food and other pet care necessities. They seek out donations of quality pet food which is disbursed to individuals on our Oliver’s Fund client list and to Seattle Area food banks.
The Admiral is asking people to bring:
– Dog Leashes, cat/dog treats, grooming brushes/combs
– Cat and dog toys, which we will give to shelters for cat and dog environment enrichment programs
– Fleece blankets
– Nutritionally-sound dog and cat food such as Taste of the Wild; Canidade/Felidade; Nutro/Max Cat; Precise.
Tickets for the event are $15.00 and are being sold through Brown Paper Tickets and tickets will also be sold at the door the night of the show.
