THE FOUND’S SUMMER COMEDY FESTIVAL
We’ve Got The Cure For Hot Summer Nights & Rampant Stupidity
“The Found is comfortably air-conditioned and serves ice cold drinks.”
Global warming got you down? How about that pesky potential war on Iran? Or the never-ending flag lapel pin flap? Why not get out of the house before it’s foreclosed on and come share some laughs and a drink with like-minded travelers...for the price of a coupla lousy gallons of imported gasoline. Check out these exclusive Found events, not approved by any candidate:

IT’S A TERRIBLE BURDEN BEING RIGHT
Fri. & Sat., June 13 & 14, 8 p.m.
Sun., June 15 (Father’s Day), 2 p.m.
Tickets: $10
Father’s Day was never this funny! Comedy Central star Jackie Kashian performs her hit one-woman show about growing up in Milwaukee under the questionable moral influence of her aluminum siding salesman father, who taught her that “It isn’t arrogance if you’re always right.” Kashian’s comical quest for social skills and ethics includes tales of mobsters, shoplifting, dating, and genocide. What more could you hope for in a night of comedy? Bring your dad (DNA or other evidence required), and receive a complimentary beer or wine for each of you.
More about Jackie Kashian: A national touring comic for 10 years, Kashian has her own half-hour special on Comedy Central, and has appeared on NBC, VH1 and A&E’s “Comedy on the Road.” She was in “Last Comic Standing,” and was a recent “Pick of the Week” performer in LA Weekly. She has appeared at comedy festivals across the country and abroad, including the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow, where ABC Australia raved: “The gem of the night was Jackie Kashian. Her droll, perceptive description of her family was hilarious.” Kashian has two CDs: “Cake is Not My Downfall” and “Circus People.”

2nd ANNUAL $9.99 THEATRE FESTIVAL
Join in or just come watch! Actors, comedians, performance artists, et. al. are invited to enter their best 9.99-minute (or less) theatre piece, produced on a budget not to exceed $9.99. (They must show receipts!). Both original pieces and scenes from classic plays, films, etc. can be presented, and the audience will decide the winners. The Fest was a huge hit last year, with winner Dorothy Spirus going on to present a triumphant month-long run of her hit one-woman show, “Children of a Lesser Goddess” at The Found. Don’t miss this unabashed silliness, presented in tribute to Found Theatre founder, Cynthia Galles, the undisputed queen of cheap theatre!

LAUGH OUT
It’s the end of an error! If the voting machines hold and the Supreme Court stays out of it, George W. Bush will finally leave office. Let’s send him out in style with a parody of the great ‘60s TV show, “Laugh In,” and a tribute to its ground-breaking hosts, the late Dan Rowan and Dick Martin. Lots of political humor, corny jokes, caricatures, and a rousing tune or two.
