Love/hate America? So does Chris Harcum. Statistically, one in five Americans owns a gun. Everyday occurrences can erupt into hilarity or danger. It's enough to make you question whether it's safe to go to the theatre. Brecht meets stand-up in this solo show confrontation of violence in the land of Ted Nugent Disease. Not only will you laugh a lot but you'll be reminded that you are alive. 'Insanely funny' (Backstage). 'Excellent' (Village Voice). 'Sprezzatura oozes' (Culturalcapital.com). 'Really dazzling talent' (NYTheatre.com). 'Unexpectedly poignant' (New York Times).
