Found Objects Unamerican Activities
Dutch, Chicano and Navajo comedians share the stage with headlining Brit Eddie Stephens as Kaatje’s Comedy Café presents the UnAmerican Comedy Show this Friday. This will be your last chance to see the incomparable Kaatje Gotcha before she goes on a hiatus that she will no doubt explain and make jokes about at the show. Hosted by Julien Brooks, the UnAmerican Comedy Show gets started at 6pm on Friday, April 12 at The Boiler Monkey (600 Central SW). There is a $5 suggested donation for this event and it is open to all ages, though keep in mind that young ones will certainly hear some vulgar, thoroughly American language. For more information see bit.ly/TheUnAmericanComedyShow.
