Moontower 2018 Review: "Weird Al" Yankovic

Just before “Weird Al” Yankovic sang the titular track of 1985’s Dare to Be Stupid, the multi-Grammy winner remarked on the path that led to his current tour. “If you had told me back in the Eighties that in 30 years I’d be driving around in a bus with Emo Philips,” he said, “I would’ve responded, ‘Yeah, that sounds about right.”

Moontower 2018 Review: Mike Birbiglia's The New One

Mike Birbiglia isn’t the first comedian to question his fitness for fatherhood or the first dad to tuck a plaid button-down into khakis for a Thursday night at the theatre. But he might be the first of either to find the story of his daughter’s birth in a couch.

The image that lingers from Water and Tears is of two dancers, sliding over each other, their bodies curved inward concentrically with heads bent, like a still of dolphins frolicking in the water.

Fusebox Festival Review: Magdalena Jarkowiec’s In Here

Moontower Comedy 2018: Ali Siddiq

Ali Siddiq went back to jail. On purpose. When the Houston comic, who's in town for the Moontower Comedy Festival, got his first hour-long special for Comedy Central, he didn't want to film it in a club or theatre.

Moontower Comedy 2018: Julio Torres

As he describes it, Brooklyn-based comedian Julio Torres “crashed here some time ago.” Some people took him in and started calling him Space Prince. “Which I don't mind,” he says. This week, he’ll bring his kindhearted, dreamy, slightly absurdist space comedy to the Moontower Comedy Festival.
