Shill Out

A couple of noteworthy events involving talented people I like very much - so if you find yourself in NYC......

John Raymond "Jerby" Barker will be performing his show "Jerby With A Y" at The Duplex NYC, May
12, 14, & 19th. John's shows are the perfect example of what an evening of cabaret should be all about.

"
The show is a comic, bawdy, yet personal exploration through topics ranging from auditioning to love to sex to politics to family. The music wildly ranges from various musical theatre genres to pop, dance, and even rap."

Next up: "Picasso At The Lapin Agile" at The T. Schreiber Studio - written by Steve Martin
featuring
Michael B. - now through May 6th.


"
Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso, both young, headstrong and passionate, come together in a fictitious meeting devised in the comic mind of Steve Martin. It's bohemian Paris, at the turn of the century and the earth has fallen quiet to listen to a conversation. Does art matter? Can science touch the heart? Is beauty truly in the eye of the beholder? Did Einstein and Picasso really only excel in their chosen fields in order to get girls? With a little help from a mysterious, blue-suede-shoe wearing stranger from the future, these topics get debated in the best possible of environments: your friendly neighborhood bar, The Lapin Agile."
