Win the Complete "Strangers With Candy" Series on DVD
Don't say we don't do anything for you. A few years back Comedy Central teamed Amy Sedaris with Stephen Colbert and created the totally hilarious and ridiculous spoof of after-school specials, "Strangers with Candy".
The tv series lasted three seasons, and all of the episodes (six dvds worth) are being released by Comedy Central to support the film "Strangers With Candy" -- of which, LA, there will be a special sneak screening tonight at the Egyptian at 7:30p as part of Outfest.
LAist happens to have two sets of the DVD box set that we will give away to two lucky winners.
