Seriously fiunny dude.. He'll make you's piss..
Have a read...
Will Franken. A brilliant and hilarious youngster with a penchant for psychedelic drugs. He fled his native Sedalia, Missouri, after receiving a Masters in Literature to seek his fame & fortune in NYC.Instead, he found bagels & the Mets. The Mets had fame & fortune already; but that wasn't enough for Franken, who wanted his own.
Franken's Big Apple existence was marked by highs and lows,
from nailing a lucrative gig as the mascot of online library Questia, to teaching social studies and English
at a middle school in Harlem. He was a fixture in New York’s Greenwich
Village’s alternative theatre scene and spent his last years in that metropolis
doing voiceover and on-camera work for such products as Heineken, Sprint, and
Volkswagen.
Franken relocated to San Francisco. He established himself as a cult figure and,
instead of making his fans and followers kill themselves, he elected to let
them live and was consequently selected “Best Comedian” by SF Weekly and “Best
Alternative to Psychedelic Drugs” by the San Francisco Bay Guardian. Tribe.net
named him one of the Top 25 People to Watch Nationwide. His solo show Good Luck
With It debuted at the New York International Fringe Festival to rave reviews
by such local, small-town newspapers as the New York Times, and ran at San
Francisco’s Marsh Theater, alongside other one-man opuses such as Grandpa! It's
Not Fitting!, which subsequently had runs in Los Angeles and New York at the
Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre. He's a prolific writer, always preferring to
switch things up every chance he gets -- approaching comedy from a theatrical
point of view instead of the tired, old. . .form. .
'instead of delivering one-liners, Franken simply becomes these diverse characters, something that a generic standup would be hard-pressed to replicate' - San Francisco Herald
'glorious..' - Chortle
'Best alternative to psychedelic drugs' - San Francisco Bay Guardian
'It's more acting than standup, and no race, minority, nor pet cause is safe..' - Gelf Magazine
Full support from some excellent emerging acts..
Doors open 8pm but do come early for a seat, as they all go..
