Wonder Dave: The first person I remember seeing perform on TV as a kid and thinking that was something I wanted to do was George Carlin. When a comedy show asked me to come and do funny poems I said yes, when a storytelling show asked me to come tell stories I said yes again, it all just kind of snowballed into me being this modern day vaudeville act.Д«arbara: Who or what are your influences as a theater artist and performer? Anyone we should look up? I became a part of a troop in Minnesota called Stilettos and Straps and I sort of just kept diversifying the type of stuff I performed at. I had a few pieces where I said funny things about sex and some burlesque performers had seen them and invited me to do their show.

Both shows are very audience interaction driven.Д«arbara: WhatвЂ™s your background? How did you get into this type of theater? While TWR is a true variety show, Seduction FГ©roce has a burlesque slant вЂ“ but does feature a variety of comics, musicians, circus and other non-traditional burlesque. As host at Seduction FГ©roce, I fill a role somewhere between gameshow host, stand-up comic and burlesque act. My job at TWR includes playing the foil to host, Jamie DeWolf, and buying pig hearts to play baseball with. My current monthly gigs are as the stage manager/co-host of the Oakland Variety Show, Tourettes Without Regrets and host of the monthly burlesque variety show Seduction FГ©roce. I aim to communicate clearly in everything. My written work involves a lot of storytelling. I am for the most part a comedic performer and writer. I regularly host burlesque, variety shows, spoken word and literary events as well as performing in all those genres. Wonder Dave: IвЂ™m all over the place as far as performances go. WhatвЂ™s your style and what might an audience member expect/receive? Check him out in Oakland at Club BNB, the Oakland Metro, and the National Poetry Slam coming up next week.Д«arbara: Tell me about your performances.
