Comedy & Bluegrass About Strange Public Records
A hilarious evening inspired by an unusual source: real government records. Can public records actually be funny? Come along and find out at the Institut français d'Écosse on 26th February!
About Comedy & Bluegrass About Strange Public Records
Comedian Curtis Raye will show you just how amusing they can be. Plus, an award-winning bluegrass band plays songs on those themes. Be prepared for blazing fast banjo, fiddle, and mandolin. The band includes Maddie Witler from the Grammy nominated band Della Mae.
If you enjoy history, journalism, libraries, banjos, archives, or humor discovered in unusual places, then this is the show for you.
Comedian Curtis Raye is from rural Wantage, New Jersey, but he spent eight years in Washington DC and one year in Iowa. Working on an American presidential campaign, he observed the comedy in public records. He’s learned that school board meetings, court testimony, and letters written to the FBI are treasure troves of human folly.
This show has been seen in New York, Los Angeles, and Washington DC, and it's currently on tour in the Netherlands and UK.
