Screen Pee Wee's Big Adventure at Somerville Theatre followed by Immersive Performance After Party in Crystal Ballroom. What other entertainer has had the sheer cultural, aesthetic, and psychic impact of Pee-Wee Herman (aka Paul Reubens 1952–2023 R.I.P.-W,)—let alone one so subversive, deranged, arty, and queer?! Sunday November 26th, cast off your Thanksgiving torpor with your own Big Adventure, as the Somerville Theatre & Crystal Ballroom X Identical Cousins grants your wish to fly directly into the heart of the Playhouse. After a screening of Tim Burton's revolutionary 1985 film (served with a warm-up of highlights of the TV show), float upstairs to the ballroom for a raucous celebration of the icon's legacy. A Super Friends-style cast includes comedy (co-hosting: Tooky Kavanaugh, Angela Sawyer), drag (Celia Smokinbutts, Luke Warm), and oodles of live music from Pee-Wee's universe, featuring local luminaries like Red Sox organist Josh Kantor, Patriots / Bruins deejay T. J. Connelly as D.J. Conky-2000, rock gods Hilken Mancini (as Cyndi Lauper / Pee Wee Aerobics for puppets) and Thalia Zedek (brass/winds), Teenbeat Records' Cotton Candy ('80s commercial breaks), and a Walter Sickert cameo. Inhabit Pee-Wee's world with an immersive bicycle photobooth, an interactive Picture Phone, cartoons fit for a King, a Burton-esque nightmare installation, a Pee-Gee-Rated Peepshow, a commemorative activity book, on-theme cocktails, and reimagined Playhouse sets and props galore. Bust out your best elevator shoes for a Tequila dance party—bonus points and a shot at a prize for wearing your favorite Pee-Wee & friends costumes. The Word of the Day is…you'll just have to join the party to find out! Note: your ticket to the after party grants you free admission to the film.

We've got an absolute titan of an ep with long time friend Angela Sawyer. Angela goes in living in Columbine, taxes, and a crazy story from the road. Enjoy this all-time great episode!
We're back and stupider than ever! Our goofs are up to their old tricks with a fantastic comedian, singer, screamer, hero Angela Sawyer (@DownwitPants, iluvkarlrahner.com). Follow us all over! @DeathByComedyPod @ChrispyWalsh @ComedyGaryP @DeadandMellow
Dr Angela Sawyer returns to speak about Isaiah 61, a passage that reflects the concerns of returned exiles, the difficulty of life under colonial rule, and hope in God reversing the fortunes of the marginalised. The alternate to the Psalm this week is Mary’s Magnificat, a song that continues these themes hundreds of years later. And the gospel reading gives us another view on John “the Baptist” presenting him as a witness, inviting reflection on how we witness or testify to Christ today. We refer to Ched Myers’ Binding the Strong Man. Vivaldi’s Business Plan by Samuel Wells
Dr Angela Sawyer joins us to explore the tender and powerful image of God in Isaiah 40, as well as the cosmic and personal hope the end of exile represents to Israel. We talk about suffering and the yearning for freedom and fulfilment in Israel’s foundational story, and how it informs and shapes ours (communally). In a few short phrases Mark 1 outlines the subversive character of Mark’s writing, and of Jesus’ message of ‘good news’. We note that everybody came to hear John talk about repentance: what is the peculiar task of preaching about repentance in the 21st century? We highlight some key Advent questions: for whom are we waiting and why? We refer to Ched Myers’, Binding the Strong Man and Rick Morton’s One Hundred of Dirt.
We caught up with Angela Sawyer, long-time runner of DIY comedy esque shows, proprietor of the renowned Weirdo Records and performer of wild noise & beyond music in the Boston area, to discuss all those things PLUS quite a bit more. Playlist featuring music and some comedy mentioned in the podcast below! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL287kpvhH9Pyefq3uX_CpnIq-7rL06pk8

Today, Alan sits down with comedian, musician, friend, missing twin/better half Angela Sawyer! They discuss living in small rooms and sleeping in funny beds.

Our guest, local renaissance woman (comedian/musician/record store owner) Angela Sawyer tells us tales about her 15 year old self hiding passionate Motley Crue love poems behind her suburban waterbed and why she thought they "smoked pee".
