Description
Yes, it's true!

If you've ever seen Will Franken for free before, this is your chance to pay for it!

June 24th and 25th (Friday and Saturday) at the Dark Room (2263 Mission Street between 18th and 19th) at 10pm both nights for only $10--Will Franken is presenting two entirely different shows.

Why? Because Will was molested as a child and doing two different shows is his defense mechanism.

More importantly. . .he's been accepted into the New York International Fringe Festival this August! He plans on representing San Francisco and himself with a fusion of two of his one-man shows, "Robot Soup" and "Good Luck With It"--we'll show those Yankees what experimental comedy is!

Though this is a potentially lucrative career move--it's financially draining. Will and his wife have had their car impounded, they just lost the hard drive on their computer, and they've overdrafted by over 200 dollars in their bank account.

Will Franken needs help. The Will Franken Fringe Benefit can help him get to New York and get a foothold in the East.

What can you expect at the Will Franken Fringe Benefit?

Two nights featuring two different shows:

Crowd favorites like the dirty misogynistic Vladimir Tereschenko and the Youth Speaks Poe'try Zlam among many others.

Recently performed pieces such as Mrs. Good Luck With It, the helpful lady from Marin, the Future Of Filing Cabinets (a la Stanley Kubrick), and the Fact-Opinion-Speculation-Quote Guy (has to be seen to be believed)--among many others.

And NEVER-BEFORE PERFORMED BITS LIKE--Will's spoof of the cult of Mac Expo including Steve Jobs' introduction of the new iBookG410 (the first iBookG4 with a "10" key instead of a separate "1" and "0"; the optimistic but senile country singer Tommy Hanyocker; the Sharon Tate Baby Air Freshener; and the blind Catholic communion taste test between Zola Acai Berry Juice and the Blood Of Jesus. "Eight out of ten Catholics couldn't tell the difference!"

Please, help Will get to New York.

With a $500 acceptance fee, the cost of airfare and accomodations, and the possibility of having to hire a sound and light person out there--now has never been a better time for Will Franken to have one of those last scenes in "It's A Wonderful Life" moments where everybody comes in and says we believe in you and hands him wads of cash and he learns that no man is a failure who has friends.

"Hi. As you can see by the quotation mark, this is Will Franken. I hope you can come to the Will Franken Fringe Benefit. Accept no imitations. Remember, if there's not a quotation mark at the end of this sentence, it isn't Will Franken."

If you've ever seen Will Franken before and dig what he does, please show him on these very special nights in A minor adagio andante into Rondo:Vivace.
