Eddie Sarfaty: MENTAL: An Evening of Homo-Neurotic Comedy
Presented by Jam and QSaltLake, the performance benefits the QCares Foundation and celebrates the release of Eddie's new book, Mental: Funny in the Head.
Eddie Sarfaty has appeared on NBC's Today Show, on Comedy Central's Premium Blend, and on Logo's stand-up show, Wisecrack. He was featured at Montreal's Just for Laughs Comedy Festival and is one of the subjects of the documentary, Laughing Matters. Candid and caustic, Eddie Sarfaty is a natural storyteller, and his rapier wit effortlessly captures the everyday absurdities of life, blending self-deprecation and sarcasm with a razor-sharp instinct for the ridiculous. The Huffington Post calls him a "comedic genius."
The QCares Foundation supports Utah's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community organizations with much-needed marketing and fund raisers. QCares also focuses on the problems of methamphetamine use and the need for Hepatitis immunization in the gay community.
Mental: Funny in the Head (Kensington Press) finds Eddie Sarfaty lovingly skewing his dazzlingly dysfunctional family -- whether recounting a family European vacation, where his ailing father shouts obscenities at the Mona Lisa, or discovering his mother surfing JewHunt.net in search of a mahjong trois. Mental also has Eddie turning the spotlight on his own misadventures with equal glee, including a disastrous summer in Portugal working on a knock-off production of The Phantom of the Opera, and an unfortunate decision to jump a subway turnstile in New York City that ends in a night of hell and near electrocution.
