[ kornbluth ]Josh KornbluthBen Franklin: Unplugged Fridays & Saturdays 11/12 & 13 and 11/19 & 20 at 9pm Sundays 11/14 & 11/21 For Josh's bio, Real Video, and a link to his homepage Click Here One part comic autobiography, one part history lecture, one part mystery yarn, BEN FRANKLIN: UNPLUGGED is the hilarious story of Josh’s attempt to connect with the spirit of the great Ben Franklin. Josh has one advantage in this quest: he resembles Ben. Unfortunately, his disadvantages are much more numerous: he was raised as an "Un-American," is an extremely slow reader, and has the attention span of a fruit fly. Fortunately, Josh quickly stumbles onto a juicy historical mystery-- why Ben’s son William jumped to the side of the Loyalists during the Revolution-- and also comes under the influence of "Claude," a brilliant and charming émigré who is perhaps the world’s most unlikely Franklin scholar. By the time he reaches the climax of his adventure, Josh has been brought face-to-face with Ben Franklin— and also with the ghosts of his own family’s political history. "Uproarious and enchanting...healthy, hilarious and wise." - San Francisco Examiner |
