Will Franken's New One-Man Show: "Elementary, My Dear Watson, It Was Crack"
Following the success of February's smash hit "Meme & Pepe = Bebe" at the Purple Onion, comedic tour de force Wm. Franken ("Best Comedian" and "Best Alternative to Psychedelic Drugs") returns to the scene of the crime in his latest one-man sketch comedy roller coaster, "Elementary, My Dear Watson, It Was Crack".
Those familiar with Franken's manic character changes, razor sharp wit, and unapologetic, anti-PC stance will find nothing out of the ordinary here as Franken opens the show with a drug and weapons deal and proceeds to use ebonics to berate white boys who haven't seen every episode of "The Wire" -- all before transforming himself into literature's most famous and erudite detective, Sherlock Holmes, recently pulled from the Baskervilles case and assigned to the Frederick Douglass Housing Projects.
And that's just the opening!
Classic, rarely-seen, and never-before-seen Franken sketches, intertwine melodically in his patented solo theatrical structure, resulting in a kaleidoscopic tsunami of multi-character hilarity -- audiences stop laughing long enough only to drop their jaws.
Other important news regarding this show:
1) This is Franken's last BIG SHOW in San Francisco before he brings his one-man absurdity to Edinburgh, Scotland for the month of August. Come witness this one-night only grand send-off; Franken to the UK and the success that awaits. . .
2) This night will be recorded for posterity. A DVD shoot capturing a new Franken, new material, and shorter, sexier hair. Be part of this historical night.
3) Franken as teacher/impresario? Yes, out of the numerous comedy students Franken works with, he's hand selected two of them to open up this very special night, Richard Sarvate and Sam Pond. They both carry the Will Franken Seal of Approval and tonight, he presents them to YOU.
Yet most importantly, the overriding reason to attend is that Franken is downright hilarious. . .
"Elementary, my dear Watson," said Holmes, "His shit be off-the-hook funny."
