Will Franken – “Best Alternative to Psychadelic Drugs”

Posted by Maximum Fun on 23rd May 2006

Will Franken was recently voted “Best Comedian” in the San Francisco Weekly and “Best Alternative to Psychadelic Drugs” in the San Francisco Bay Guardian. He performs a remarkable blend of solo theater, standup, and sketch comedy, seemlessly transitioning between characters like a funny version of Robin Williams.

I spoke with Will this weekend — he’ll be performing in Los Angeles tonight at Comedy Death Ray with Sarah Silverman, among others, and tommorow (Wednesday) he performs solo at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. Tickets for the latter show are a mere $5. He’s also performing June 21st at the Marsh Theater in San Francisco. More info here.
