The horses of the world celebrated their birthday on Friday, and I have to wonder: is it like Christmas for them? Have horses assembled a body of lore to explain the additional affection and attention they receive from their human benefactors on this one day a year?

I don’t know the answer, but I do know that if someone wanted to find out, all they’d have to do is give us the right suggestion for this week’s Impro Sundae at the Bella Union! Ben McKenzie hosts this week, giving sugar cubes and salt licks to those thoroughbred impro stars Ian Messig, Vanessa Bennett, Matt Elsbury, Andy McClelland, Brian Hurley and Karin Muiznieks.

Tickets are $15/$10 at the door, or you want to make sure you get a seat you can buy them online at the Comedy @ Trades web site.
