Event

Comics For Comics 2, tix available at the door

The ToonSeum is hosting its second Comics for Comics: A Concert to Benefit the ToonSeum. Join Pittsburghs cartooning elite for an evening of laughs with performances by Sean Collier, Gab Bonesso and featuring Gene Collier. The event will take place on April 1st at 9pm at Little Es in Downtown Pittsburgh. The evening will also feature a pre-party featuring Boyd and Blair Vodka from 7:30-8:30 at the ToonSeum.

Comics for Comics was inspired by a similar event for The Museum of Cartoon Art in San Francisco, said Joe Wos, the founder and Executive Director of the ToonSeum. We had such a great response to Gene Collier we felt we had to do it again. Were also happy to be supporting Downtown businesses by hosting the event with our neighbors at Little Es.

Comics for Comics will feature headliner Gene Collier. Gene has written sports, politics, and media criticism in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia for over 30 years and has twice been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, losing spectacularly both times. A popular guest on area radio stations (including the WDVE Radio's Morning Show), Genes quips about Pittsburgh and its sports teams over the years have earned him a wide audience and a couple of anonymous threats.

The event is produced by Gerry Collier.
Join us on Thursday April 1st (April Fools Day) with a reception at the ToonSeum from 7:30-8:30, followed by the comedy concert at 9pm.
