Fred Armisen was a regular at Lounge Ax, as a performer and a part-time assistant to Susie. He’d stamp hands at the door and answer phones, and occasionally his band Trenchmouth would play. Fred claims Susie gave him his big break when she asked him to host karaoke night once a month. Each month he’d come as a different character: Jesus, a guy with a head injury, a priest, and one time he hosted as Hitler, but not the evil Hitler, Fred’s Hitler was trying to soften his image and had taken up writing poems for a vegan fanzine.
