Yes, they’re really doing it
The Harvey Wallbangers return to the Carnegie Stage in “Are we really doing this?” The sketch comedy group wants to ring in the New Year with a new show. They want you to forget about 2016 and slip into 2017 with their weird characters. They are promising “laughs out the wazoo!” I’m afraid to see what that looks/sounds like. You can find the Harvey Wallbangers at the Carnegie Stage, 25 W. Main Street, Carnegie, PA 15106. For more information, click here.
