102736 Joe Rogan It’s a measure of how successful Joe Rogan has been on television--and for how long--that many folks who could reasonably claim to be his fans are often surprised to learn that he’s a stand-up comedian, much less a highly experienced, enormously accomplished one. Somewhat odd and mystifying at first glance, this scenario actually makes quite a bit of sense upon closer inspection: Stretching all the way back to 1995, Rogan became a weekly presence on primetime network TV, on the NBC sitcom “NewsRadio,” portraying Joe Garelli. That series aired on NBC for five years (and lives on in syndication), but this obviously involved Joe acting, so while his was a funny character on a funny show, his work there didn’t necessarily suggest his stand-up background. For the better part of a half-dozen years, he presided over NBC’s “Fear Factor,” in which he fulfilled the role of host--and could certainly be more himself. But, again, his work there didn’t really telegraph that he was a veteran comic, and didn’t begin to indicate that, when operating in his comedian guise, the act tends to be dark, edgy, provocative, sometimes explicit and blue, and never for prudes or the faint-hearted. But he’s a skillful, powerful purveyor of no-holds barred comedy, with credits ranging from multiple appearances on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” to multiple visits to “Howard Stern” to co-hosting the second generation version of “The Man Show.” Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see Joe not on TV in your living room, but up close and personal in the cozy confines of Cap City. http://do512.com/event/2009/11/05/joe-rogan-w-tommy-ryman http://do512.com/event/2009/11/05/joe-rogan-w-tommy-ryman.xml Thursday 11/05/09 20091106T010000Z/20091106T010000Z 0 6.0 07:00 PM Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:00:00 -0600 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:00:00 -0600 6 THU http://www.ticketweb.com/snl/VenueListings.action?venueId=capcitycom1 http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/285663/joe_rogan_sq_90.png Cap City Comedy Club 683 Cap City Comedy Club http://do512.com/venue/cap-city-comedy-club http://do512.com/venue/cap-city-comedy-club.xml

"After School Improv" parodied those cheesy after-school specials from the '70s and '80s; in "The 1930s," Pgraph used a combination of extensive research and innovative narrative techniques to bring out the comedy in the Great Depression; and "Family Portrait" put a magnifying glass on the inner lives and relationships of a different family each week. Parallelogramophonograph are always playful and funny, yet never afraid to let dramatic moments add the bitter to their sweet improvised stories. Parallelogramophonograph is Kareem Badr, Kaci Beeler, Roy Janik, and Valerie Ward. Tonight Pgraph is joined by Total Panic. http://do512.com/event/weekly/thu/parallelogramophonograph-at-coldtowne http://do512.com/event/weekly/thu/parallelogramophonograph-at-coldtowne.xml Thursday 11/26/09 20091127T020000Z/20091127T020000Z false 0 4.0 08:00 PM Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:00:00 -0600 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:00:00 -0600 34 THU 02/25/2010 http://coldtownetheater.frontgatetickets.com/ http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/201933/Pgraph_CTTheadshot_sq_90.jpg ColdTowne Theater 780 ColdTowne Theater http://do512.com/venue/coldtowne-theater http://do512.com/venue/coldtowne-theater.xml
