On Saturday, June 3 at 8:30 pm, investigative satirist Paul Krassner and singing satirist Roy Zimmerman will perform at Steinway Hall.
About Krassner… Over the years, Paul Krassner has built up a cult
following that has steadily been edging into mainstream awareness. The
New York Times calls him "… an expert at ferreting out hypocrisy and
absurdism from the more solemn crannies of American culture." The Los
Angeles Times says Krassner "…has the uncanny ability to alter your
perceptions permanently." And the San Francisco Examiner declared that
"Krassner is absolutely compelling. He has lived on the edge so long he
gets his mail delivered there."About Zimmerman… What's funny about war, poverty, ignorance, bigotry,
neo-conservatism, homophobia, greed, lust and fear? Ask Roy Zimmerman.
He's been writing satirical songs for 20 years. Zimmerman founded and
wrote all the material for the comedy folk quartet The Foremen
(Warner/Reprise artists) who toured extensively, opening for Bill
Maher,
Dennis Miller, and even for President Bill Clinton. The Los Angeles
Times
noted Roy's "
lacerating wit and keen awareness of society's foibles…a
latter-day Tom Lehrer." Roy's fans include Joni Mitchell and Tom Lehrer!
