Lose Control Comedy Troupe
Live at The Broadway Comedy Club, NYC

Latino flair with an urban edge. Pure hilarious kick ass fun!!

Chulisi and the Lose Control Comedy Troupe grace the stage for a third season of laughs and good old fashion home feeling comedy. Bringing to you Iris De Safacon, Jocks and Espiritista with an all star cast that are sure to make you laugh and guffaw in your seats.

Lose Control Comedy Troupe is the modern day Latino version of "In Living Color". It takes a light-hearted approach at live theater by mixing pop culture, family upbringing experiences and everyday people living a day in the life. Blending it with comedy, dance, poetry and music. Lose Control's themes are common with a predominately young cast who are bilingual, and who choose to identify with both their American and diverse cultural background. Lose Control celebrates this new generation through hysterical skits and improvisations. No one show is the same. Each month a new show is given so that it stays fresh and easily impressionable through out it's run. It's hosted by Chulisi who also does stand up in between sets.

Tickets are $15

Puerto Rico archeological find mired in politics

SAN JUAN -- The lady carved on the ancient rock is squatting, with frog-like legs sticking out to each side. Her decapitated head is dangling to the right.
That's how she had been, perfectly preserved, for up to 800 years, until the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers came upon her last year while building a $375 million dam to control flooding in southern Puerto Rico.
She was buried again last week with the hope that some day specialists will study her and Puerto Rican children will visit and learn about the lives of the Taino Indians who created her. But archaeologists and government officals first had to settle a raging debate about who should have control over her and other artifacts sent to Georgia for analysis.
