Hey kids...need something to do?
Brad Thacker, friend of the blog and family to The_Wizard, commenced a five night stint opening for comedian/barroom hero/satirist and Libertarian Presidential Candidate Doug Stanhope last night at Go Bananas.I listened to Stanhope only recently, and if you like your comedy satirical absurd, provocative, and totally fearless, cough up a twenty and check out one of the shows this weekend. I'll be there Saturday late, as will other friends of the blog, in the self styled VIP section, sipping (okay, chugging) drinks of all varieties.
Check him out.
Its worth more than 20 bucks
ReplyDeleteGo Bananas is probably my favorite club. Great staff and cheaper drinks than most comedy clubs.
Doug, simply is amazing. He is shooting a Showtime hour special in a few weeks so he is ripe and ready to go. He could do a four hour special. He did almost an hour last night and didn't even do most of the stuff he wanted to do.
The late show is ALWAYS better.
Hope to see some of you there.
I've been having trouble commenting here for a couple of days, so we'll see if this one takes.
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, I saw the show on Thurs. night and it was great. Stanhope was on fire, and it was cool rapping with him at length at the bar afterwards. I don't agree with all of his positions, but he is right on top of his game, even piss drunk (and I gotta admire that). Brad did an AWESOME job MCing, and it was great to hear some of his newer material, plus some old favorites. Opener Andy [I can't remember his last name] was a drunken train wreck, but still pretty entertaining. A great night of "offensive" comedy overall.
