Look:
In this hollow, maladapted age, celebrity — like consent — is manufactured; Meg Favreau and Rob Baniewicz turn up the satire-o-stat swiftly to a toasty "Wet and Wilde" intensity in their new show, Reviving the Lecture Circuit, and through absurdist alchemy reanimate the esteemed institution of cynosure disquisition. Meg and Rob portray caricatures of various celebrity archetypes, including politicians, lifestyle coaches, and television personalities, with relatable and hilarious execution. The duo's comedy finds good purchase on its target, and the shallow self-importance of the inexplicably famous shines in every moment, right through the relentless, pancake-saturated climax. —Will Dean

Well. After a number of months of writing and practicing, my dear friend Rob and I are premiering our comedy show Reviving the Lecture Circuit as part of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival tomorrow. Tomorrow! Oh, shit.
The show consists of six modern celebrities telling their stories, from a motivational fitness expert to the presidential candidate who believes that all of America's problems would be solved by having a wolf in every back yard. It's really quite excellent. I'm not just saying that. Heck, I'm proud.
If you live in the Philadelphia area, we would love to see you at the show. Here are the details:
When
Thursday, September 6 at 7:30 p.m.
Friday, September 7 at 8:00 p.m.
Saturday, September 15 at 7:00 p.m.
Where
The Walking Fish Theatre
2509 Frankford Ave
Philadelphia, PA 19125
How Much
Just $5! That's the cheapest you can make a Fringe show without it being free!
You can get tickets online through the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. A couple of people have reported problems with the online ordering system, so if it's mean to you, you can also call the box office at 215-413-1318. We'll also be selling tickets at the door.
And if you want to make an evening of it, I highly suggest the show that's before ours on Thursday and Friday, Religion is Retarded. I saw it Tuesday and did some good laughing.
