Darrell Joyce: Female-Perpetuated Myths About Men and Other Laughs
The Funny Bone Comedy Club presents the razor-sharp wit of Darrell Joyce nightly through Sunday, Jan. 29. Critics say the author of "MisInformation: The Female Perpetuated Myths About Men” can bring a crowd to tears (of joy) as he shares his observations about life. Nothing is off limits for the comedian, who finds humor in just about everything, including the myths perpetrated by females, the subject of his first book.
