For my friends in NYC - Mike Daisey
For my friends who live in or near NY:
You should go see Mike Daisey perform. I wrote about Mike a while back when he was at the ART in Cambridge (video review from WGBH here -- gives you a sense of Mike's style). Mike is an amazing monologuist. You would never believe how engaging a guy sitting at a table and just talking can be. He's intelligent, expressive, and very funny.
Mike is performing his show Great Men of Genius. Tickets are here. Audio sample is here.
