This is going to be an excellent show for a really good cause. Worth the 20 dollars just to see a show hosted by "Tiny Hands" (actually Jon Glaser).
BENEFIT FOR THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE
A Benefit to support the three teenagers convicted of ritual murder in West Memphis, Arkansas as documented in the film, "Paradise Lost."
The West Memphis Three were convicted of the alleged Satanic killing of three eight-year-old boys in 1993, despite a complete lack of physical evidence and a highly controversial trial, which culminated in a death sentence for Echols, and sentences of life without parole and life plus forty years for Balwin and Misskelley, respectively.
All proceeds from the benefit will go directly to the defense of Damien Echols, whose final chance of avoiding the lethal injection will happen when he files his federal habeas corpus petition this fall.
More information on the case, including the complete trial transcripts, can be found at www.wm3.org.
Comedian scheduled to perform:
David Cross
Horatio Sanz
Special World Premiere Video by Yo La Tengo
Eugene Mirman
Jon Benjamin
Heather Lawless
Mike Birbiglia
Slovin & Allen
Hosted by Dave "Tiny Hands" Gordon
Monday, August 30th, 10pm
The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre
307 West 26th St.
New York, NY 10001
212.366.9176
That's the day before my birthday. AND JON GLASER WILL BE THERE.
Anyone want to go with me?
