Sloanliness, Dan Hershfield
Comedian Dan Hershfield recalls how we befriended his hero, musician Chris Murphy of Sloan, and how he subsequently folded under the pressure. Expect some awkwardly funny moments.
3. My Big Fat German Puppet Show
My Big Fat German Puppet Show
The puppet-stand-up-cabaret show presented by Frank Meschkuleit has won the Just For Laughs “Best Comedy of the Fringe Award.” This show looks to be an eccentric uproar of comedy.
