Wham City
The Wham City comedy tour -- which includes Dan Deacon -- is making a stop in Troy next Tuesday (November 15) at 51 3rd Street.
From a SPIN article last year about the collective:
The dimly lit basement of Baltimore's Bell Foundry building is out of an early '80s hardcore show. Pocked concrete walls tagged everywhere and with everything -- "kill cops," for example -- weird dark little alcoves of dust and foundation debris, a long steep bomb shelter staircase, cheap beer and whiskey, and all underneath some kind of labyrinthine ex-industrial building in a dark pocket of midtown Baltimore. Onstage, however, are Dan Deacon and fellow Wham City collective member Connor Kizer (of the Santa Dads costume-pop duo) dressed as bumbling cops doing an improv skit --slyly riffing on a The Wire storyline -- that could've held water with the State or, hell, Kids In the Hall, at their best. ...
The show is a broad hybrid of things, over 20 acts of stand-up, skits, music, and a very broad "other."
The by In Your Speakers-organized show starts at 7 pm. It's $10 at the door.

Saw it last year at the same location, funny and sometimes provocative show.
