We enjoyed these fine musicians last year. They were definitely one of our favorites. Last year we got to pick the categories and they picked the songs which led to a very fun and varied show. I can hardly wait to see what they will do this year.

This trio is amazing - all so very talented, and they are perfectly matched in terms of rapport and stylistic range. I loved their performance last year, and I’m sure that once again they’ll present a show that is both beautiful and fun.

The Suicide Lounge was awsome. The best show I have seen all year. Comedy AND music. You can’t beat The Suicide Lounge. I have never seen three people fit together so perfectly. They will make headlines next year!

This trio is as schizophrenic as Gemma’s 20-character one act. From lusty lounge singing to frenetic campy songs to the risque to covers of hard rock songs delivered with lilting and smooth style.
The banter is funny and quick-witted, and Joy is a lovely to look at as can be.
There are three different kinds of comedy, tho. 1 - when you can make your best friends laugh 2 - when you can make your circle of friends laugh, and 3 - when you can make strangers laugh.
Suicide Lounge is best for the circle of friends…those who know the peccadillos of Nate, the particular humor of RP, and the family aspect of the band. There are “in” jokes and “in” songs. Best for those “in” the know.
I really like this set of shows for a Cafe Venue. It’s a TERRIFIC cafe act, and I’d love for them to become mainstays in some smoky lounge somewhere, with Joy mixing her torch songs with the funny stuff, RP riffing along on the keys and with the comedy, and Nate’s innate ability to play while entertaining. The musicianship is really great here.
Still, as a $7 dollar mainstage…frankly, I don’t know.

My daughter and I had to see your show again last night after seeing you last year. Joy has an incredible voice and is just the right touch to play off Nate and Robert, two amazing musicians. As seasoned musicians, your uncanny play on, “What ever comes to mind” in your comic, warped humor, is just what the doctor (bartender) ordered.
