Roy Zimmerman Live from the Starving Ear

Roy Zimmerman, political satirist and singer, is returning to the Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto on Sunday, March 11 at 7:00 p.m.  Tickets are $18, but no one will be turned away.

He has made a “campaign promise” to perform his wickedly inventive satirical songs in all fifty states before the Republican Convention.  Is there plenty to write about?  Why, yes, there is. “Live From the Starving Ear” is a 90-minute juggernaut of funny songs and comic commentary on presidential politics, the Occupy Movement, the Tea Party, abstinence, Creationism and same sex marriage with a healthy dose of Lefty rabble rousing thrown in.

The Los Angeles Times says, “Zimmerman displays a lacerating wit and keen awareness of society’s foibles that bring to mind a latter-day Tom Lehrer.”

Tom Lehrer himself says, "I congratulate Roy Zimmerman on reintroducing literacy to comedy songs. And the rhymes actually rhyme, they don't just 'rhyne.'"
