Barry Crimmins at Brit Pack presented by Mood Swing Comedy
Barry Crimmins, comedy legend and the subject of the critically acclaimed, award winning documentary feature Call Me Lucky directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, will be appearing at Brit Pack in NYC's Chinatown to do a full hour as a stop on his fall tour!
Online ticket sales are being kept at low prices thanks to financial support from Mood Swing Comedy. They want as many people to see Barry as possible while he's in Manhattan, so get these tickets while they're available! Once online sells out, the price will go up to $15 at the door!
Joining Mr. Crimmins as host and MC will be Jimmy LeChase.
Barry's Bio:
Former Air America Radio writer and correspondent, internationally renowned political satirist and author of the acclaimed Seven Stories Press book Never Shake Hands With A War Criminal helped bring the Boston Comedy scene into the modern age when he founded two of Boston's most fabled clubs: The Ding Ho and Stitches. Such acts as Steven Wright, Paula Poundstone, Bobcat Goldthwait, Kevin Meaney, Jimmy Tingle and many, many others cut their comedic teeth in the rooms Crimmins started and at shows he produced.
Selected comments about Barry Crimmins:
"Barry is hilariously funny, but more important, his humor comes out of a deep intelligence, and extraordinary understanding of the world around him and an intense commitment to social change." -- Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States.
"He breaks down reality in a hilarious way. He seems ticked off at everything, and when you hear him, you agree. One of the few political comedians who are really good." -- Steven Wright in U.S. News and World Report
"The finest political satirist in the nation. A prolific writer of comedy who is both keenly insightful and superbly humorous." -- Swift Kicks
"Barry makes Jack Reed look like Michael Milken." -- Dennis Miller
"Barry Crimmins uses his sharp sense of irony as a political weapon. In his hands, the subversive joke is the first small act of resistance." -- Billy Bragg
"Crimmins did more...to educate these folks about the arms race and other issues than hours of speeches and editorials could have done." -- Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility
"A hallmark of Crimmins' shows are their unpredictability. He's known to go off on an unscripted monologue like a musician riffing in a jam session, an act of inspired spontaneity few comedians attempt." -- Mark Sommer Albany Times-Union
