» » This Week in Joe's Basement Alone in a Dark Room (1989–1993)

Short summary

Alone in a Dark Room - an atheist vision of life after death. Joe turns off the lights, plunging the show into total darkness. In the absence of vision, however, strange sounds emerge. A search for a leaky faucet begets an odyssey of noisy mishaps, progressing to a full-blown Beauty Contest in the dark (interrupted by some pesky mimes.) Finally Joe turns the lights back on, the interlopers scatter away. Mark resumes the discourse, puzzling over a broken cigarette with his doppelganger (his own image on a TV set.) These conceptual, audio-based high jinx were inspired by the great Ken Nordine, to whom Joe's Basement owes a considerable debt.
