See This Man Tonight!

If you live in the New York City area we strongly--strongly--recommend you see Will Franken perform his one-man show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater this very evening. An absolutely phenomal and signular comedian, Will did at our show last week and proved an absolute and necessary shock to the system, both in terms of sheer humor and almost unnervingly brilliant delivery.

"In a mere hour and 30 minutes, Franken manages to inject more thought, soul, and hilarity into such varied topics as the parents of murdered children or President Bush’s campaign to capture the 18th century than any other show I’ve seen...Aside from effortlessly mixing high culture (references to Edna St. Vincent Millay, John Milton, deconstructing television ads) with low (the most scatological ad for a woman’s empowerment symposium ever), Franken also manages to find a marvelous balance in his performance between precision and spontaneity. . . . It’s probably the funniest thing I’ve seen all year."--NYTheatre.com

"With respect to one-man comedy shows, there's funny, and then there's Franken-funny. A monster comic showman of truly prodigious talent, San Francisco comedian Will Franken fills up a performance space so naturally you'd think he could really only live on stage (without, anyway, seriously alarming the villagers).--San Francisco Bay Guardian

"Will makes me laugh as hard as Dubya makes me wretch, shudder and vomit. And that is saying something."--Dan Piraro, Cartoonist, Bizarro
