LA by way of San Francisco offbeat comedian Brent Weinbach will perform his debut album in its entirety this Friday at the Verdi Club in SF.
“It’s become popular for some bands to play certain albums in their entirety, but it’s kind of weird to think of a comedian doing the same thing. Then again, it’s not as if this is the first time it’s been pointed out that something Brent Weinbach is doing is weird. On Friday night at the Verdi Club, Weinbach – who’s known for, among other things, an oddly intense stage presence and doing strange characters and funny accents – is celebrating the release of his new comedy disc, “The Night Shift,” with a performance that will find him re-creating most of the album in order. Unlike most comedy albums, only a portion of the album’s nearly 65 minutes comes from a live performance, with the rest of the time devoted to answering-machine messages, reimagined phone calls, bits done in a studio and relatively serious songs played on piano.” -SF Gate
“Obscenely, disturbingly brilliant.” – L.A. Weekly
“Weird, scary, hilarious.” – Time Out NY
