----/ The Squid List /-------------------------------------------------- Will Franken's new solo show "For Existence, Press One"
Wednesday, June 21 8:30pm $15 ----/ Event Description /----------------------------------------------- Back by popular demand for one night only! "Best Comedian" - SF Weekly "What elevates Mr. Franken above your garden-variety comedian is an erudite wit and a highly developed sense of the absurd" - the New York Times WILL FRANKEN's most outrageous and politically-charged performance to date opens with a reprisal of one of his most popular characters, the patronizing "Good Luck With It" woman from Marin-this time, she's a painter engaged in a bizarre conversation with the NPR announcer on her radio. Follow Franken as he travels to 18th-century Russia, where Catherine the Great's finance minister advises her on horse and harness prices; to a world music recording studio, where a volatile flautist argues with his producer over the lyrics to a summer solstice chant; and to Baghdad, where a kidnapped American journalist is forced to read a wickedly humorous list of his kidnappers' demands for Al-Jazeera television. In a final darkly funny piece, Will becomes a drunk driver forced to speak at a memorial for the teenager he hit-in order to receive a lighter sentence. "Catherine Davis was a senior at Horace Mann High School when her life was tragically shut down in the prime of her primetime by a driver too drunk to know that driving and drinking and driving don't mix," he slurs. "I was that drunk driver that killed Catherine Davis. And nothing can shake the memory of my brain from my head." ----/ Venue Info /------------------------------------------------------ The Marsh 1062 Valencia St. (at 22nd) San Francisco 415-826-5750 http://www.themarsh.org/ ----/ Additional Info /------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 800-838-3006 (for tickets) http://www.themarsh.org/forexistence.html ----/ The Squid List Admin /--------------------------------------------- The Squid List, a tentacle of Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/ subscribe, unsubscribe, change your email address or change your subscription options: http://lists.laughingsquid.org/mailman/listinfo/squidlist/ Frequently Asked Questions & Submission Guidelines Squid List FAQ: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/faq.html The Squid List Online Calendar: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/calendar/ The Squid List RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/squidlist ----/ Laughing Squid /-------------------------------------------------- Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.com art, culture and technology from San Francisco and beyond Laughing Squid Web Hosting http://laughingsquid.net friendly, dependable and secure web hosting services for artists, individuals, bloggers, non-profits and small organizations The Squid List is licensed under a Creative Commons License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/
