Bizarro's PolitiComedy-a-Go-Go Coming to Texas this April

Dan Piraro, New York-based creator of the newspaper comic, BIZARRO, has rummaged through every bar, comedy club and drunk tank from coast to coast and collected a veritable army of stand-up comics with political and social axes to grind.

Beginning in the heart of Bush country with shows in Austin, Dallas and Houston, this quartet of liberal wisenheimers will reach out to voters and bitch about the issues all across the country from now until the first Tuesday in November. Not the sugar-coated, corporate-approved drivel you're used to seeing on TV, Bizarro's PolitiComedy-A-Go-Go is an evening of unrestricted freedom of speech from some of America's brightest comic minds. A wide variety of targets will be skewered including drug laws, corporate crime, global warming, gay marriage, Philip Morris, the erosion of democracy, and of course, Genghis Dubya and his Millionaire Marauders.

2. Hi Ditties (Mr & Mrs)

We're trying to get a Austin DU gathering going to the one here in Austin. This just sounds like too much fun. I like to follow Molly Ivins and Jim Hightower advice and remember to laugh and have fun. We're the party with "party" in our life.

Have fun at the Houston show!

3. I'l be at the Houston show on the 14th with a few friends!

Maybe we can get a DU section?!

4. DUers you have to go see this show!

I can report that the Austin show was side splitting hilarious. I don't know what the other clubs will charge, but the show was only $10 in Austin. Four comics people, for only $10. It's a real steal. Cheaper than a movie and popcorn.

You're going to find out that Dan Piraro can sing with yodel type of voice and he's quite good.

Also remember to take cash to the show. They have goods to sell that are keepers. A children's style comic book that Dan Piraro will sign called "Three Little Pigs Buy The White House"

Go see these guys, I'm begging you. You won't be sorry.

5. I can't wait!

I'll be there on the 14th. I posted about it inthe Lounge, but like most things I post lately, it dropped like a rock. Anyway, I think a couple of friends are going to go with me. and one of them is a local comedian who knows one of the guys, too.

6. Glad to hear you are going too Lisa0825

Try to meet up with the Ditties. They're going on the 14th too. You won't regret it. It was a blast. These guys aren't making any money doing this. They're just doing it to get the political comedy juices flowing against BFEE.

Have fun!!

I was a little under the weather, and the weather itself was nasty, too.
