Some Wry Comedy on the Line at Acme

If you want to dial up some laughs, try “10-10-32ACME” at the Acme Comedy Theatre. You’ll find some kind reminders of what not to do in case of an earthquake and other good advice.

Saturday night’s show went on despite the absence of one principal cast member, yet the hastily revised bill still managed to garner laughs.

Jamie Kaler’s totally silly musical ditty is a mildly politically incorrect skit about the Irish Republican Navy, whose main objective is finding a tall glass of Guinness. Billy Wright plays a mentally slow woman with a dead butterfly collection and a boyfriend (Kaler) who often exits convenience stores with red-spattered T-shirts.

Kaler also appears as a man who decides to sleep naked the night a 6.4 earthquake hits Los Angeles in his “Buried Treasure.” Todd Rohrbacher’s “Heaven Can Wait” has Rohrbacher playing St. Peter’s fill-in temp, on leave from purgatory and not quite up to the job.

Some of the bill is inane, such as Wright’s “Chore Boy,” in which a sponge expresses its horror at the things it must clean, and Leslie Dixon’s “Campus Life,” in which two very lost airheads meet during their first week at UCLA.

M.D. Sweeney piled all the better skits in the first half, but the pacing is good, helped by Jonathan Green’s music direction, with Christian Malmin on drums.
