COMEDY & THE GOOD LIFE: LAUGHTER, COMMUNITY & PHILOSOPHY????
FREE COMMUNITY EVENT/FUN FOR ALL!! Comedy, community, and philosophy go hand in hand — especially when comedian and philosopher Rodney Norman is on the mic! In this fun “thinky” comedy show and post-show talk-back program, get ready to laugh and ponder BIG questions about life.
Known for his hilariously unassuming, dead-pan, and delightfully disarming vulnerability, Rodney’s humor blends clean, family-friendly comedy with an infectious and uncontainable amount of joyful exuberance replete with philosophical wisdom.
To quote Mark Twain: "Laughter without a tinge of philosophy is but a sneeze of humor. Genuine humor is replete with wisdom."
Through raw and honest stories from his life that are belly-laugh inspiring and relatable to all, audiences will be invited to think about things like friendship, courage, justice, humility, happiness, love, and community.
Post-show conversation will build on and explore some of the themes present in Rodney’s comedic work and Q & A.
Free and open to the public. Doors open at 6pm. Show starts at 6:30pm, with an opening act by local comedian Kaiser Leib.
Post-show talkback with Rodney Norman to follow performance facilitated by community philosophers Marisa Diaz-Waian & Mitch Conway.
Come one, come all…and join us for a fun night of community and “thinky stuff" through the lens of comedy and philosophy.
Cash bar. Free event. Donations appreciated (we’ll have some sort of donation thing set-up on site - pass the hat, drop a dollar, whatever makes sense…TBD).
All contributions will go toward philosophy in the community.
