One night only! Great comedy and incredible bluegrass music.This is unlike any comedy show you've seen. All the humor is inspired by actual, strange public documents, such as: FCC complaints about Big Bang Theory being too violent, FBI profiles of sports stars, and creative immigration applications. The band includes Maddie Witler (Della Mae, Lonely Heartstring Band), Kathleen Parks (Twisted Pine), Max Allard (EZRA), and Jordan Tice (Hawktail) Come for the bluegrass, stay for the laughs.Or come for the laughs, and be pleasantly surprised by the music. Questions? Contact Curtis Raye: foiacomedy@gmail.com FAQsWhy comedy AND bluegrass?We LOVE public records, but we know it's not a great idea to talk about them for 90 minutes straight. So we've assembled incredible musicians to make this a complete night of entertainment.Is this really a comedy show about public records? That sounds....unusual.Absolutely. We're nerds for public records, and we are comedy writers in New York. This show combines those two passions.I like bluegrass but know nothing about public records. Is this show for me?Definitely. The musical line-up is incredible, so you'll be happy. And you'll also enjoy the public records part of the show. It's funny, and you may learn something.Can I bring my children?The public record does contain several references to adult topics (Americans are naughty, you know?), so keep that in mind. But they'll certainly enjoy the music.Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?No.Who is the host?Curtis Raye has spent time in Washington DC, New York City, and working on a presidential campaign in Iowa. He's observed the inherent comedy in public records. School board meetings, court testimony, and even White House menus are treasure troves of human folly. And he has assembled the most absurd ones in a tightly packed 90 minute live evening of comedy and bluegrass.
