Sat 2/4 Thea Deley's One Woman Comedy Show

TheaDeley Show Poster-1

LOCAL COMEDIAN PERFORMS ENCORE OF ONE-WOMAN SHOW

Thea changed more than just the title. She shortened the length and added some new twists—but kept all the audience favorites from the original. Elaine Brett, who saw the first show, said, “I haven't seen anything like this since I saw Lily Tomlin's one-woman show on Broadway!”

Local comedian Thea Deley presents an encore performance of her multimedia comedy show, “Jesus Loves You! (But Hates Me)” Feb. 4, 2012, at the Paradise Theatre in Paonia, Colo.

The show explores Thea’s religious upbringing, and how it eventually became a wedge in her family as she drifted away from her parents’ faith. Along with personal experiences from her own life, she draws on real-life stories found in newspapers, books, songs and other media.

“Most people I know are so politically correct they're too polite to speak out against religious hypocrisy,” Thea says. “I was too, so for years I repressed all this anger and sorrow and confusion. I hope my speaking out starts a much-needed dialogue, and helps other recovering Christians heal and move on.”

This high-energy show includes stand-up comedy and skits with fun characters such as a pro-sex abstinence teacher. The audience is also treated to interactive games such as “Bible Feud,” and spoof videos such as “Working Out with Jesus.”

Tickets are $13 each or 6 for $66 at the Paradise Theatre and KVNF. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Mature audiences only (17+). Audio and video clips at www.theadeley.com <http://www.theadeley.com>

Thurs 2/9 Willy Porter Live (7:30); Tix $15 adv / $20 dos

The Paradise Theatre in Paonia, Colorado welcomes back to the stage, singer/ songwriter Willy Porter on Thursday, February 9th (7:30 PM).  Willy morphs performance art, live audio looping, and improvisational sketch comedy into his solo whistle stops, and his mastery of the acoustic guitar is showcased in his most comfortable environmenthis live show.  Known as a six-string acoustic wonder, he has toured with legendary artists Paul Simon, Sting, Jeff Beck, Tori Amos and Jethro Tull.

Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull recently described Porter's musicianship this way: "Willy Porter's music demonstrates admirably that the technical excellence of his guitar- playing will never overwhelm the essence of the song itself. In perfect symbiosis, the disciplines of performance and songwriting combine together to create the unique work for which he is admired by professional peers and audiences alike."

Tickets are $15 adv and $20 at the door. They are available at The Paradise Theatre Box Office and KVNF Radio or on-line HERE.
