Comedy group prefers absurd, political humor

Most people try to avoid getting into a sketchy situation. But for a local comedy troupe, it's a good thing.

The Baby Seal Club, a sketch comedy crew from Auburn, will try and show audiences on Friday just how good it can be. The recently-formed group will perform skits and sketches at the Auburn Public Theater as part of “The Freudian Clambake.”

According to Baby Seal Club co-founder Jason Manning, this will be the second performance at the theater since March. However, the club has been performing short numbers at the venue's open mic nights for quite a while, Manning said.
