PJ Walsh Announces Dates for "Over There - Comedy Is His Best Weapon" Debut Shows
Online, July 19, 2010 (Newswire.com) - NEW YORK - Comedian PJ Walsh has announced dates for performances of his one-man comedy show, "Over There - Comedy Is His Best Weapon," at the NYC Fringe Festival. The Navy veteran and master of observational comedy regarding American life will be performing his show at the following dates and times:
Friday, August 13: 9:45 p.m.
Wednesday, August 18: 4:30 p.m.
Saturday, August 21: 2:45 p.m.
Sunday, August 22: 6:15 p.m.
Wednesday, August 25: 9:45 p.m.
The one-hour comedy show is a fusion of Walsh's quick wit and insightful observations about life as a soldier and civilian. Walsh is a Navy veteran known for his tours with Larry the Cable Guy and his stint as host of "Wall2Wall Good Stuff" on Sirius Blue Collar Radio, but "Over There - Comedy Is His Best Weapon" seems poised to overshadow his previous comedic hits. Performances will occur at The Players Theater, at 115 MacDougal Street in New York.
"Over There - Comedy Is His Best Weapon" illustrates the hardship and hilarity of PJ Walsh's journey - from a screw-up kid convinced there's no chance of war who enlists in 1990 all the way to the White House. It's his career in stand-up, though, that causes him to face his mortality in the belly of a C-130 flying over Afghanistan. The poignant narrative intertwines the solemnity of war with the humor of Walsh's inner thoughts. "Over There" demonstrates Walsh's keen eye to see comedy in the ebb and flow of every day events while tackling larger issues such as war and growing up.
"Over There" was written by PJ Walsh and is directed by Dion Flynn. It is a Relevance Group production. Tickets for the shows can be purchased at www.FringeNYC.org.
