Three Weeks Away!

The big show for the 2016 Tucson Fringe Festival is just right around the corner (assuming that you keep your corners at a distance of three weeks)!

If you're having reservations about attending (or inviting others to attend), please keep in mind that I'm funnier than I am pretty.

But, with that said, I'm still pretty pretty.

Slideshow Fairytales at the First EVAR Tucson Comedy Arts Festival

Catch Slideshow Fairytales set at TCAF on Thursday, November 5th, 2015.  You can RSVP on Facebook, or you can just send me a nice formal notecard announcing your intention to attend.

Tickets will be on sale for $5 at the door.  The box office will open 30 minutes prior to showtime.

Good news, everyone!

I was just bcc'ed on an email informing me, Catfish Baruni, that Slideshow Fairytales has been accepted into the Tucson Comedy Arts Festival. 

The festival will take place November 4th-7th!  Mark your calendars now.  

...Or later, so long as it's some time before the festival takes place.

But, I mean, just do it now, really.  It'll only take a second.  I'll wait.

Did you do it?

Awesome.

Keep Calm and Beef

The Facts in the Case of the Great Beef Contract

by Mark Twain
Adapted and read by Catfish Baruni

In as few words as possible I wish to lay before the nation what share, howsoever small, I have had in this matter, this matter which has so exercised the public mind, engendered so much ill-feeling, and so filled the newspapers of both continents with distorted statements and extravagant comments—on or about the 10th of October, 1861, John Wilson Mackenzie, of Rotterdam, Chemung County, New Jersey, contracted with the General Government to furnish to General Sherman the sum total of thirty barrels of beef.

The bill has yet to be paid.

Join Catfish Baruni as he uses nothing but his wit (and select obscenities) and a bootlegged copy of PowerPoint to share with the world his version of Mark Twain’s classic comedic short story, The Facts in the Case of the Great Beef Contract.

Slideshow Fairytales: What is a fairytale?

Did you miss my performance of William (the snowman) from the 2013 Tucson Fringe Festival? Then you may not have heard me ramble on about what fairytales are. Now you can experience that moment in this clip recorded from the show.
