The Partly Dave Show FAQ
WHAT sort of thing is it?
A cabaret variety show
mixing live music & spoken word performances,
hosted by Dave Awl.
Who is this Dave Awl character, anyway?
Is there a CO-HOST?
Why, yes! Dave would be lost in space without the sensational Christopher Piatt (a.k.a. the First Mate and Science Officer of The Partly Dave Show), who is Dave's primary co-conspirator, and our newly minted co-co-host, the splendid and sparkling Diana Slickman!
WHEN does it occur?
The show is currently being scheduled on a sporadic basis ... watch this space and the Dave Awl News mailing list for show announcements.
WHERE can it be found, in a geographical sense?
The Partly Dave show gets around! It has previously happened at the Neo-Futurarium, the Viaduct Theatre, and (originally) at
The No Exit Café in Rogers Park. It may be visiting some new locations in the future ... stay tuned.
HOW MUCH is it?
The suggested donation varies depending on the event, but is usually less than a movie with popcorn and generally accompanied by our "or pay what you can" clause.
(That means you don't have to stay home
because you're broke again, girlfriend.)
What other FUN FACTS can you share?
- The Partly Dave Show is always smoke-free!
- The Partly Dave Show is always "Pay what you can!"
- The Partly Dave show is never forced to land on water!
- The Partly Dave show is rarely attacked by flying weasels!
