Riki Lindhome (Garfunkel) and Kate Micucci (Oates) were young actors before finding their true calling in 2009: writing snarky songs and performing them in viral home videos. Quickly racking up click-rates in the millions, the pair has gone on to comedy fests, celebrity cameos, and even a gig on Late Night with Jay Leno. Set to release a new album, Slippery When Moist, on February 21, the pair hits Helium Comedy Club this weekend.
But wait! Before you go trotting off to YouTube for a laugh, read a few of their choice quips below (warning: they’re irreverent) and LEAVE A COMMENT of your own. Two lucky readers who do so will WIN TICKETS TO SEE THEM AT HELIUM!

Love these ladies! My roomie and I know so many of their songs by heart and sing them around the house!
