You can only hope to contain him.  At least for two more shows here in L.A.

I’d also like to direct any locals looking for a theatrical adventure to Big News, a live-theater news review revue that’s as new each week as the soul-peeling national horrors they make fun of.  Like all such highwire exercises, it can be hit or miss, but when it hits, it’s funny as hell.

Last night’s recurring bit was "Barbara Bush’s Silver Linings," in which the First Mother (who in this version had a beard) mused on the bright side of famine, disease, and genocide.  Which was as dead-on and darkly amusing as it sounds.
