Shout to Roy Zimmerman


Last night I had the honor of opening for political satirist and musician Roy Zimmerman. I often find the musical comedian genre annoying -- not as annoying as hypnotists and prop comics -- but up there on the list. Roy Zimmerman is anything but. This man's songs are sophisticated, complex, pointed and most importantly, hilarious.


One song about Bush was called "Don't Make Fun of the Crippled Boy" and had me rollin!


He had a great draw last night at the Cornelia Street Cafe (possibly my new favorite NYC venue) with most of the crowd knowing his material. He's based in San Fran for those who want a chance to see him more regularly.


I strongly urge you to buy his CDs and support my other artistic picks on my new Amazon aStore.
