  • Get ready to laff and laff and laff

    Life is hard and things are a lot right now; the Banana Boys make me forget all that for a little while and it is SO needed. I love their friendship, humor, seemingly unending supply of hilarious personal anecdotes and of course all the absurd articles. There’s such a feeling of community and love for fans too; as a disabled currently mostly bedbound person I still somehow feel included as a Bananimal and hope one day to attend a show in person. Best in the biz!
