Richard Anthony and Mistress MO’s Naughty Comedy Hypnosis Show has appeared in main showrooms across the country, as well as long multi-year runs in Las Vegas casinos. It’s hilariously naughty and risqué but without crossing over the line to raunchy. The current show features bits drawn from “Glee,” “The Mentalist,” and “Jersey Shore.” The stage volunteers are convinced, once they are hypnotized, that they are “actors” trying out for parts in various comedy situations. Every performance also features an “opening stand-up comic” thus making this a “double double” show with both stand-up and comedy hypnosis in one side splitting evening.

Opinion: SMa.r.t. Busy as a Bee: Busy as a bee

The Busy Bee Hardware and Dry Goods store has been a fixture in our city for longer than any of us can remember. In fact that store, now just called Busy Bee Hardware, moved to its present location in 1922. The wood plank floor has been walked on by generations of Santa Monica residents seeking a washer, a burlap bag, a good hammer…it is, most importantly, that simple shop where everyone knows your name.
