"What elevates Mr. Franken above your garden-variety comedian is an
erudite wit and highly developed sense of the absurd." -The New York
Times

"Best Alternative to Psychedelic Drugs" -SF Bay Guardian

San Francisco's "Best Comedian" (SF Weekly) returns to The Marsh
after wowing New York audiences at the New York International Fringe
Festival with his surreal, darkly satiric, Pythonesque brand of
humor. Transcending the autobiographical style of traditional solo
shows, Franken takes audiences on a romp through his twisted
subconscious, fusing bizarre scenarios with satiric jabs at slam
poetry, small businesses that only advocate "celebrating diversity"
in order to increase profits, the very existence of a government, and
the patronizing suburbanites who greet him after shows with a
confused but polite, "Good luck with it!" Writes NYTheatre.com:
"'Comedian' might be too weak a word to describe Franken. He seems to
be more of a comic force than a tightly defined comic persona. hellip
He refuses to dumb down or censor his material, and he virtually
obliterates any distinction between the high-brow and low-brow. It's
probably the funniest thing I've seen all year."
