Attention People of New York City:
Hello. This is your man Dave Hill writing to let you know that next Thursday, August 20 at 9:30pm, I will breaking out another performance of my groundbreaking and pretty f@#king sweet in general new one-man show “Big in Japan” for the second time ever in North America at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre over there in historic Chelsea. As you may have read on the Internet or seen during NY1’s Dave Hill Power Hour this past Sunday, my new “Big in Japan” show is all about how I am totally a gigantic celebrity in Japan, a country where I am so famous there are at least five medical conditions named after me, some (okay, most) of which have to do with the privates. Imagine if you combined the magic of “Cats” with the majesty of “The Color Purple” and the lion from “The Lion King” and then add all that existential stuff from “Waiting for Godot,” the profanity and gunplay of “Scarface,” and the oh-wait-that’s-a-penisness of “The Crying Game” and then throw in some sweet guitar solos and then maybe get rid of the lion from before and then maybe sprinkle in a dash of the 1970’s prison documentary “Scared Straight” and you will get a sense of the awesomeness I will be kicking out next Thursday without even trying. Also, I am going to pick out my outfit by myself. The hair will be dealt with by professionals. This show is directed like a motherf@#ker by Jeff Tomsic and assistant directed like a motherf@#ker by Nicole Brodeur. And appearing in the role of my Japanese roadie even though he is not Japanese is the great Chris Chuang. Anyway, I really hope you can make it as my show is already considered by me and a lot of other people to be the best five-dollar show going on that night at that time. And if you already saw it last time, rest assured that this next show will be at least 25% more incredible this time around because I am adding stuff to it so there will be more talking and shredding and also I might take my pants off or something. I’m still sorting it out. Just trust me on this one. Join me- won’t you?- as I put my art on the line on this, the 69th anniversary of that one time exiled Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky was fatally wounded with an ice axe by Ramon Mercader in Mexico City, something we still talk about to this day. You can get tickets right here.
Love,
Dave Hill
