Dan Hoyle
- The Real Americans / June 24–27, 2010
- Tings Dey Happen / June 30–July 1, 2010
- In his acclaimed solo shows, Dan Hoyle uses a journalist’s eye to create an actor’s paradise. In the tradition of Anna Deveare-Smith and Danny Hoch, Hoyle immerses himself in a subject and then crafts a riveting show from the people he meets and the places he visits. In his award-winning Tings Dey Happen, Hoyle examines the complexities of Nigerian oil politics in a tale fueled by fascinating, real-life characters, including ambassadors, warlords and prostitutes. The show has been performed off Broadway, at colleges across the country and on a Nigerian tour sponsored by the US State Department. In his latest work, The Real Americans, Hoyle leaves the liberal bubble of San Francisco on a 100-day odyssey that explores America’s culture wars. With humor and sympathy, he introduces audiences to the small-town residents he encounters as he searches for a bridge between the Obama Nation and Palin Country.
Wes “Scoop” Nisker
- Crazy Wisdom Saves the World Again / July 2–3, 2010
- A radio commentator, author and meditation teacher, Wes “Scoop” Nisker calls himself “the world’s first Buddhist stand-up comedian.” In his books and performances, Nisker tackles the big questions—Where did we come from, and why are we here?—with a smile and a healthy dose of humor. “I didn’t understand aging until I started doing it more regularly,” he observes. Whether he’s riffing on Einstein, Nietzsche or Wavy Gravy, Nisker and his “New Age New Deal” pack a big bang which proves that wisdom can be the ultimate high.
