If random and absurdist humor is your thing, the wacky Los Angeles improv comedy trio of Starr, Scott and Ed is the perfect balance to some of the more dramatic offerings you might find at the Rogue. The group's set Saturday afternoon at Veni Vidi Vici included such themes as the boneless body of a cancer-ridden grandma (and, yes, they get a big laugh from that) and two characters who proclaim themselves "Christicians" -- they're Christians AND magicians.

The style is loosey-goosey (now there's an adjective I'm not sure I'd get through the copy desk if this were going in the print edition of the paper) and the tone laidback in true Southern California surfer style. Starr Ahrens put on a wonderful solo show last year at the Rogue in which she performed her own "musical." This time around the humor isn't as, how shall we say, high-brow, and I was a little disappointed we don't actually get to hear her sing for real, but the show is definitely full of laughs.

Note: the "mild sexual themes" listed in the program are a little more than mild, so don't be surprised. And if you're a Scientologist with no sense of humor, you might want to check out "American Idol" instead.
