Club Chuckles presents: Lord Nasty, Moshe Kasher, Sean Kelly, Mary

Fri, May 12

The Hemlock Tavern's monthly comedy night CLUB CHUCKLES presents a
night of wack-ass music and comedy with Lord Nasty & the Seekers of
Perversion, Moshe Kasher, Power Up with Sean Kelly, and Mary Van Note.


LORD NASTY doesn't exactly live in San Francisco -- he writes his
lust-filled odes to booty up in Ukiah -- but he certainly has found a
home away from home in Baghdad by the Bay. Perhaps few other cities
are equipped to embrace a 47-year-old Texas native who dresses like a
drunken Sun Ra, sings like a horny Barry White, and writes tunes
about jacking off in the dark. For whatever reason, the good Lord and
his Seekers of Perversion have played all over town, from 12 Galaxies
to the Hemlock Tavern to the Rickshaw Stop. The backing band -- which
features several ex-punk rockers -- moves dexterously from slinky
funk to buttery blues at the drop of a hat. Meanwhile, Lord Nasty
seduces the ladies with style and aplomb. Maybe it's his smooth,
soulful vocals; maybe it's his confident lyrical style ("Look at All
That Ass You Got" pretty much sums up his oeuvre). Lord Nasty has
been at this game since the '70s, nearly as long as iconic blue
performers Rudy Rae Moore and Blowfly, definitely longer than 2 Live
Crew and Too $hort. Perhaps it's only a matter of time before
teenagers are bumping to one of the Lord's classics, such as
"Baptized in Pussy Juice." Praise the Lord.

POWER UP WITH SEAN KELLY is a deadpan satiric evisceration of
corporate meetings, jargony self-help rituals, white light seminars,
empowerment, meeting room reductionism, simple answers to complex
questions and complex answers to simple questions, presented live in
Microsoft PowerPoint.

The audience will be subjected to moronic team-building experiences,
share their inner feelings, only to be embarrassed ten seconds later,
and laugh and cry and run to enlightenment. It's Stuart Smalley meets
David Byrne at a software party for losers.

Sean Kelly has been writing, performing and doing comedy since 1998.
He was the Artistic Director of the infamous Gallery Spanganga, has
won a couple best-of's from local media, recently wrote and starred
in Measured Cuts, a play with ninjas, and more.
