SOUTHERN
DISCOMFORT AT THE TRIAD
TOPICAL
SATIRE SET TO TAKE NEW YORK BY STORM SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT AT THE TRIAD
If
your tired of getting your news from CNN and feel like a change from
Saturday Night Live, for a limited time, (very limited), there's a
fresh alternative to chose from in SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT, the musical
satire troupe, appearing for One Night Only at THE TRIAD (158 West
72nd Street, NYC - 212-362-2590) on Monday, March 19th.
Created by
Alan Friedman, a former mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan
New Jersey newspaper, as well as a former congressional aide and a
member of the DC satire group "Capitol Steps," the eleven member company
of SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT - which includes its very own piano player
- satires a wide variety of subjects: ranging from the Clintons to
George W., from Jerry Springer to Kathie Lee Gifford and Viagra to
Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker (always a favorite of New York
sports fans).
Friedman started
SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT in Atlanta in 1996 and, over the years, the group
has gotten a name for itself all over the Southeast. Some of the things
the troupe has been called include "hilarious, ingenious" and "very
funny." Now, after several years (and after releasing two CDs), the
company is leaving the warmth of its home grounds and is venturing
into the Big Apple, where it will hold court at the Triad Theatre
four days after the Ides of March. (Although, unlike the Shakespeare
play, this is one show where Julius Caesar avoids getting skewered
- even if no one else does.)
So for a chance
to see public and political figures take it on the chin, (and elsewhere),
check out the good clean fun of SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT. The group will
hold court (if it's not being hauled into one) at the TRIAD THEATRE
at 8:30 pm on Monday, March 19th. It's a lot more fun than watching
Bill Clinton's videotaped Grand Jury testimony - for the 1,000th time.
Now who could ask for anything more than that - and all for the low
price of $15.00 plus a two-drink minimum.
