Comedy Open Mique featuring Stephen Bjork (at Amazing Things)
IT'S FUN TO LAUGH ON WEDNESDAY! - Standup comic Stephen Bjork will be featured at the Amazing Open Comedy Mique Show, Wednesday, August 3, 2011 from 7:30pm 'til 10:00pm. His material is intelligent; sometimes absurd, and always accessible, but first and foremost it is funny. Bjork "works clean" -- while so many comedians think working clean means simply omitting the F-bomb, Bjork takes everyday life and turns it upside down in a way that everyone can enjoy. From the supermarket, to recess, to family life -- to cannibalism, Bjork crafts hysterical anecdotes and observations from everyday life. Bjork has performed with such luminaries as Dane Cook, Steven Wright, Dom Irrera, Dave Chappelle, Joe Rogan, Dana Gould, Tommy Chong, and opened for legendary musical group The Platters. Join Stephen and our usual cast of comedic miquers doing all things comedic -- from PG13 standup, to humorous stories, to funny songs, improv and beyond. Miquer include award winning storyteller Helena Leet-Pellegrini, standup guy Ed Alley and the funny and incredible magic of Malik Haddadi. Be a part of our growing audience or inquire about your own five minute slot at the Amazing office (or email host Dave Hornfischer at daverh@rcn.com). Tickets at door $6.00, ($5.00 members). Amazing Things Arts Center, 160 Hollis St, Framingham, MA 01702, phone (508)405-2787.
