Happymusicfuntime! A Musical Comedy Revue, live at Finest City Improv in Hillcrest for three nights in November, 2022. Written and directed by San Diego composer and comedian, Kristen Baum Wilcox, Happymusicfuntime! features an ensemble cast of San Diego and Los Angeles-based comedians and musicians, and draws comedic and musical inspiration from an eclectic lineup of influences ranging from rock and bluegrass to musical theater. “The last few years have been really difficult in so many ways for so many people; this show was born out of those times. The name of the show derives from everyday text chains between myself and my co-producer, Elizabeth Ronan Silva, in which we used the term “Happymusicfuntime” so often to refer to those moments of time we were able to carve away from the often overwhelming stressors in our lives to reconnect with the joy of creating music and comedy that it became predictive text on our phones. This show is both a love letter to some of the specific music that impacted me early in life and a tribute to the power of music and comedy generally to connect us and keep us going during dark times.” The November 11th show will be a benefit for Fair Vote, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization which seeks to research and advance voting reforms that make democracy more functional and representative for every American. “I decided to make one night a benefit show for an organization working to preserve democratic process because I am passionate about the intersection between the arts and social and political activism; I believe in protecting the rights of every human being in society and in protecting the arts from further erosion in this country, and that both of these things start with ensuring the safe functioning of our democracy.”
