Breaking The Habit in Just Five Questions

Seattle comedy troupe The Habit, formed in 1995 at the U-Dub, reunited last year with a well-received new show. Starting tonight, and for the next four weekends, they’ll be performing another new show at Green Lake’s Bathhouse Theater. As their tickets page promises–“No improv!” (Thank Jeebus.) We caught up with original member David Swidler for five quick questions.

Are you getting funnier as you get older?
Yes, and much more concerned with Hispanic voting trends.

What would’ve been better for ticket sales–Obama winning or Romney winning?
Our projections show that a 269-269 tie with the House of Representatives deciding would have been the best. For comedy sake, however, the election of Kansas governor Farts VonTinkledouche.

If you guys were One Direction, who would be Zayn?
Jeff, since he has six million underage Twitter followers.

How are Green Lake audiences different than Capitol Hill audiences?
Green Lake audiences are the best audiences in the world!!!

Will Mark Siano be singing a song in the show? (His audience sort of expects it…)
All of our shows start out as an hour-long Mark song, and then through the rehearsal process are whittled down to thirty seconds.
