An evening at the theater with Lee Camp

This evening here in big ole Bozeman, Montana at the legendary Equinox Theater, we enjoyed the comedy and political observation of the very funny Lee Camp (leecamp.net).

The guy is gaining a following via his activity on Facebook, his Moment of Clarity series of rants, and he also has a book and some comedy albums out as well (fair warning: explicit language).

He is, in short, a very funny guy who is well read and has a keen perspective on the global village we’re all partaking in these days, from corporatization of government and the resulting corruption to consumerism to the gross negligence we see with childhood obesity and the education system. He can take these very serious subjects and not only make them funny, but give you the sense that it’s not entirely hopeless. There just may be something that we can all do to make things better, while laughing about it along the way of course. If you get the opportunity and he’s in a city near you, I’d strongly recommend checking him out. Also look him up online.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the opening by Katie Goodman of Bozeman’s own Broad Comedy troupe (since all grown up and relocated to NYC). She is also hilarious and puts on a terrific show, so keep an eye out for her as well.
