Over the past month, when he was not helping assemble Stone Cold Fox’s next weekend show, or co-authoring the UCB’s Sentimental Irish Christmas celebration & radio hour, he has been putting the finishing touches on this, his very own half-hour of dame kissin’, whiskey sluggin’, crook punchin’ comedy noir. If you’re in town Thursday night, then work them getaway sticks of yours down the UCB theater to catch this show. </p>http://www.owenparsons.net/post/14866443937http://www.owenparsons.net/post/14866443937Tue, 27 Dec 2011 11:44:24 -0500
