COMEDY CABARET WITH MODERN MAN at The Roxbury Arts Group
....Filling the void between The Three Stooges and The Three Tenors.The somewhat musical group known as MODERN MAN continues its assault on the out-moded idea that only those persons not yet manifesting symptoms of senile dementia should perform in public. If the sight of three seniors attempting a hip-hop song (“Assisted Living”) or transparently trying to get a fatwa issued on themselves for the sake of notoriety (“Abdul, The Reluctant Martyr”) doesn’t bring up your lunch, you may well be Navy Seal material. Hilarious, hip and utterly not to be missed. $12 adults. (607) 326-7908.
