Just a dreamer that sleeps to forget his dreams. The world gets shaken up. Give me a story to tell. I want nothing more than to see you smile, or piss you off. Throw me that drink. Let me preach to you the sins of the gods. All I ever wanted was my two front teeth, and all I got was this t-shirt. Write me a play to save
the world, and I will act in it in order to forget the world around me. I think this sums me up well:
And yes, I have driven a Volvo for years, white one at that!
Who I'd like to meet: I am fairly content with those that I know, otherwise. However, people with skillful hands, tools for their trade, and ideas that produce themselves into existance. People that really don't give a fuck what others think, unless they ask my opinions first. Give me a hero, I need some wind beneath these tired wings. Dreamers that also chose to ignore their dreams, or accept them for what they are. People with the feeling that others don't feel. Uniques, individuals, and free thinkers, where are you? If you want one of my messenger names feel free to ask, but fair warning I use AIM more than anything else!
As many of you know, the TN Renaissance Festival chose not to renew my contract and I will not be returning to the festival. However, I refuse to let “The Man” get us down. Laughter is still the best medicine; and until they form a national healthcare plan that works, it’s all most of us have. To that end, I invite you to join me, your favorite Danger Comedian, for an evening of laughs on Saturday June 13th at the Boiler Room Theatre just outside of Nashville, TN. (This is not my Renaissance Festival show done in the woods wearing tights.) This is a full stage production which features lots of new material, costume changes, and even a musical finale. The show, One Night With Johnny Phoenix, is a complete evening of entertainment including an after show party mixer for some personal hanging out time with your Uncle Johnny.
Showtime begins at 8 PM with a family-friendly performance. For those who wish to stay after the family-friendly show and enjoy the late night comedy side of Johnny Phoenix, there will be a brief intermission followed by a free bonus performance of my adult comedy show at 9:15 PM. There will also be an after show party mixer immediately following the adult show. That's two different shows for one ticket price. Tickets are only $10 and benefit The Make A Wish Foundation of Middle TN.
One Night With Johnny Phoenix, Saturday June 13 at 8:00 PM at The Boiler Room Theatre. The theatre is located at The Factory At Franklin, 230 Franklin Road Building 6 Franklin, TN 37064. Admission is $10. Need a little relief at tax time? I have filed an extension on the free give away with ticket purchase that ended on April 13th. If you purchase your tickets online before April 30th, you will receive a bottle of one of my Johnny Phoenix brand hot sauces for free. Hot sauce must be claimed at the theatre the night of the show. There are only 60 seats remaining so go to http://www.johnnyphoenix.com/ and get your tickets and free hot sauce before they’re
