Aug. 5, 8pm * $25 / $20 w/ RSVP by July 15 "Go see Emily Levine at the risk of blowing your mind, splitting your sides, and exiting a better person." Norman Lear Hailed early in her career by Newsweek as "one of the new queens of comedy", the Harvard-educated, brainiac comedian has long mined the interface of science and society for comedic gold. Her first show, Five Easy Steps to Metaphysical Fitness, took her audience on a wild, hilarious ride through the paradigm shift: from Isaac Newton's rational, predictable law-and-orderly universe to the wildly improvisational universe of quantum physics, chaos theory and complexity theory. Levine's trenchant social commentary made the connections between science and society both funny and real. But no sooner had Levine begun turning the show into a movie than she went through her own paradigm shift. A rare and long undiagnosed disease tossed her into a universe for which the words "wildly improvisational" are woefully inadequate. Thanks, however, to her own Five Easy Steps, Levine's alive to tell the tale. That's exactly what she's doing in her newly revamped show: Five Easy Steps to Metaphysical Fitness: They Actually Work! Steinway Hall @ Fields Pianos * 12121 W. Pico Bl. (1 door w. of Bundy * Level P2) * Park free! * RSVP: Jeannine Frank @ (310) 471-3979 * Jeannine@FrankEntertainment.com |
