Chicago Anime Sickos Podcast fans (and comedy fans more broadly): take note. You gotta go to this or else

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: On Thurs Feb 26th, Genius Night returns to turn you into a wise genius using our incredible comedy skills. Featuring Anime Sickos Podcast's own @shariauncle.bsky.social , Gwynn Fulcher, @veryimportant.lawyer, @arish-ish.bsky.social, Will Sonheim, and Josh Watkins! BE THERE!!

Genius Night will return in 2026! See us on the fourth Thursday of February, April, and June at Cafe Mustache. If you wanna be on Genius Night or know someone who would kick ass at it, DM us and/or get in touch at anightforgeniuses at gmail dot com

Fellow producers @sadieposting.bsky.social and @kirkmanbrandon.bsky.social were on this line up and you can see them be funny outside of the confines of D&D! Also they both end up talking about a lot of cool fantasy stuff anyways

“And now, thanks to the wonders of technology, you at home can experience the many thrills of Genius Night any time at all! Have yourself a ‘Genius Morning’ or even a ‘Genius Mid-afternoon’ over a light/hearty lunch. And remember: There’s no wrong time to be a Genius!™“

So happy to be a part of this and talk about my love of Magic the Gathering lore/bisexual furry awakenings (that’s how you know it was a good set) Watch the whole thing! Good pal @sadieposting.bsky.social crushes it up top and still thinking about @tomharrison.bsky.social screaming “NO DO OVERS!”

My piece went over better than I could have ever imagined. What a great show, every one of the performers absolutely slayed. This video is for da ages...

Yesterday's edition of Genius Night absolutely ruled. House: packed. Lineup: stacked. Vibes: perfect. Laughs: plentiful. If you're sad you missed it, don't worry. We got da full video on Youtube. Check it out!!!

big thanks to @geniusnight.bsky.social for letting me show a captive audience this important image last night

My piece for this is the dumbest shit I ever wrote. There are so many little jokes woven into the very logistics of its construction and performance that likely no one will notice but me. I don't think there's been a piece I am more excited to do. God it's stupid...please come see it TONIGHT!

What are the odds that this is the promo post that convinces someone to go to Genius Night? Well in case you are that guy: come to this show at Cafe Mustache at 7pm tonight! It will be so funny!! And free! The lineup is outta dis world!!! Come out and become a genius with us!

If you are in Chicago you must go to Genius Night tomorrow. 7pm at Cafe Mustache.

If you aren't sure if you want to come to Genius Night tomorrow, I present to you this recording of the first Genius Night last month which will serve as evidence of its greatness and excellence. Basically you gotta go. Go!!! Tomorrow at 7 at Cafe Mustache!!

Brandon is one of the greatest heroes of all time for filling in last minute after Joe had to drop out due to health bullshit. You must come see him perform at Genius Night tomorrow at 7pm at Cafe Mustache or else

TOMORROW: Genius Night is the comedy show that makes you a genius. Sicko fans got to be coming to this. We got Josh hosting, me (Tom), @sadieposting.bsky.social, Lynda Cortez, @bosh.worstpossible.world, @dono.bsky.social, and @kirkmanbrandon.bsky.social filling in for Joe. BE THERE!! IT'S FREE!!

If you are a podcast-liking freak you already know that @bosh.worstpossible.world and @dono.bsky.social are some of the best in the game. But did you also know you can see them do a live comedy bracket debate THIS MONDAY, IN CHICAGO, FOR FREE? You can! They will solve Climate Change forever

She's so right...it is on Monday

My piece for this is perhaps the dumbest and most self-indulgent thing I've ever written and I can't wait to inflict it on you good people

Sicko fans simply have to come to this. one week away folks. Monday Oct 20. It’s gonna rule

One week until Genius Night returns to fill your empty brain with edifying comedy goodness. This lineup is out of this world and is not to be missed. It's free folks you have no excuse. Will you be there NEXT MONDAY, OCTOBER 20??

In case you missed it: the September 2025 debut of Genius Night was taped for your viewing pleasure. If you are on the fence about attending on Monday, Oct 20, watch this and get a sense of the kind of excellence lying in wait for you

If you wanna get emails about when Genius Night is you can join our "email list." I do not wish to pay a company so the list is just a bunch of email addresses that I have saved locally to a spreadsheet on my computer that I paste into bcc lol. Anyway link's here:

Two weeks until da next Genius Night. This one is simply nutty, you will go nuts off of this. We got Josh hosting. Tom and Joe from @animesickos.bsky.social. @bosh.worstpossible.world from @worstpossible.world. @sadieposting.bsky.social. Lynda Cortez. @dono.bsky.social. Kevin with "da news quiz"...

Hey do you like @bosh.worstpossible.world from @worstpossible.world and @illconceivedpodcast.com? Do you want to see him do live comedy in Chicago in two weeks? Perhaps a stupid live bracket with @dono.bsky.social from Radio Free Tote Bag? Then you must go to GENIUS NIGHT Mon Oct 20 or I'll die

"I gotta have more Genius Night!!" Then mark your calendars now for Monday October 20th. We got an insane lineup of killers on this one. Like holy shit folks

Our new live comedy show GENIUS NIGHT: A NIGHT FOR GENIUSES was a total triumph. Watch it for yourself and see.

Couldn't make it to Genius Night last night? No worries pal, I got you. Behold: "da recording." This shit is so good it's nuts. You simply have to see this (and come to our next show on Mon Oct 20!!!) Thanks to @realdiscord.org for recording!!

GENIUS NIGHT IS THIS MONDAY ALREADY HOLY COW YOU HAVE TO GO TO THIS PLEASE SO IT CAN BECOME A MONTHLY INSTITUTION

TWO DAYS until your brain experiences an event that will render it extremely powerful. GENIUS NIGHT debuts this Monday at 7 at Cafe Mustache FOR FREE. Be there!!!

Genius Night is not technically a "live Anime Sickos Episode" but if you are an Anime Sickos fan you will note that this lineup is exclusively people whose genius funniness have generated classic episodes of Anime Sickos. You MUST come out to Cafe Mustache in two weeks!

FOLKS: it is two mere weeks until GENIUS NIGHT bursts onto the scene and redefines the live comedy world (current definition: "A world of shows of which Genius Night is not one"). Mark your calendars and get our there to Cafe Mustache on Sept 29 at 7pm!! This lineup is ALL KILLERS!

As a huge genius I don't even need to attend, I will simply close my eyes and simulate the event flawlessly in my mind while I sip warm gin. But you should go, you probably need the help.

Things of beauty can still exist in this world

God damn my eyes and mind that I'm not in Chicago. This was my one guaranteed chance to become a genius. I am doomed to idiocy for life

we’re approaching levels of based heretofore thought unpossible

Posting this is going to reach the exact same number of people that the original post did.

You’re gonna LOVE Genius Night. This is a killer lineup (and me). I’ve seen what’s cooking and it’s gonna make you such a genius

From the ashes of the Skewer rises GENIUS NIGHT: A NIGHT FOR GENIUSES, a live comedy show co-produced by Tom of @animesickos.bsky.social! If you loved the Skewer you'll love this. Be there for our first show Monday Sept 29th, 7pm at Cafe Mustache in Chicago! Check out that lineup!! Jesus christ!

If you listen closely to this, you might hear me guffawing to the point of a coughing fit

Hey folks, the podcast version of our show Monday is now available. I think it goes without saying that the vibe was a lot more appropriate on Monday.

Folks, this show is TONIGHT, in a mere four hours. If you are in Chicago and do not have an urgent need to be elsewhere, I would urge you in a huge way to join us at the Skewer and see some extremely good live comedy

Folks, the show is in one week. if you are in Chicago: you WILL come to Cafe Mustache on Monday November 4th at 7pm. if you are not in Chicago: my condolences. I hope you can fix that soon.

I have written my intro piece for THE SKEWER's triumphant return, the first time I have written such a piece since February 2020. All I can say is that I haven't missed a beat, and am funnier than ever, and that I was also always funny. If you are in Chicago you MUST come to this or I'll die

Oh shit oh fuck somebody put my name on a poster and now I’m legally obligated to perform and do a good job

🚨 RED ALERT 🚨 The Skewer returns!! In under two months you can see ME say WORDS into a MICROPHONE! Also some other very funny people! It's going to be so great you should come!

WE'RE COMING BACK MON NOV 4th - 7pm - Cafe Mustache
