Hey guys!

Hot Sauce was accepted into the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival! We are performing in a show called The Line-Up, which features four sketch groups from around the world hosted by David Cross and Bob Odenkirk, directed by Bob Odenkirk- who have been just awesome - so far the festival has been a blast!

Here's the announcement in the Hollywood Reporter.

Check back in a couple of days for pictures!

Tonight at Midnight! Don't be scared, come out and join us at the Dirtiest Sketch Show at UCB. It will be absolutely gross so don't forget to bring your young daughter. Plus "special guests" will be there, including the hysterical Owen Burke, the original co-host of the show, all the way out from LA!

Next week we have all types of fun all over the city...

On the next night, March 23rd at Midnight, Hot Sauce, along with the fabulously hilarious and filthy Jackie Clarke, host "The Best of Dirtiest Sketch: RIP Anna Nicole Edition" at the UCB Theatre. If you've never seen the show before, you're in for a great treat - we've got the best sketches in Dirtiest Sketch Contest's history together for one awesome, disgusting, hilarious and DIRTY night.

Hey Guys,

So the website transition has been smooth so far. Thanks to everyone who's pointing out any glitches. Let me know if you see any and I'll try and correct 'em.

Meanwhile, Apple has taken down our "iPod Video" off of YouTube just as it was going viral. Big thanks to Gizmodo for posting about it in the first place though. We did however put up the iPod Video in Quicktime file on our website. You can check it out here: iPod Video

Also, thanks to College Humor and Cracked who have both featured our video, "Ysketball". Pretty Sweet! Thanks to everyone who checked 'em out and hated them!

FIRST POST!

Hello World,

Wow. We have a real website. Good God. A real website. Finally, Gil got off his ass and "designed" one. Can you handle that? We bet you probably can. Here's some recent news for our first indulgent post:

x Hot Sauce Sells Out -Hollywood Style. We just got back from our first show out at the UCB LA Theatre. We had a great time, hopefully we'll be back soon, but we had to promise not to break any eggs.

x Ben just got hired to write for Robot Chicken! Check out some of their videos on YouTube! We'll miss him for a couple of months, but not really.

x We recently became 2006 NYC Cagematch Champions. Hot Sauce defeats Reuben Williams in the Finals and takes down the net. Hot Sauce now holds the all-time cagematch record for votes per show with 86.6 and the all time largest vote total for a single match with 183. We'd like to thank Pally's mom.

x New Improv Jam at the UCB NY, hosted by fwand (a UCB team which Gil is a part of), called Jammin' w/Ralph.

x Hey guys- look out for Starveillance on the E! Network! Ben & Gil are the hosts - Glenn & Corey. You can hear us go through puberty on TV.

x Have you seen these? Adam and the Chubby Skinny Guys have some leaked Super Bowl Commercials... after the Super Bowl has aired...

x New Hot Sauce short films coming soon! Stay tuned - now that our site is up we'll have more time for shorts. This is not a worthy news item. That's it for now ya'll.
