Universal
Publishers Stages:
The tenth
edition of “FUNNY FORUM” will feature
candidates from this year’s council race accepting the invitation to Roast each
other for a good cause. The cause might
even be their own favorite Charity - if they are Funny enough.
WHAT: Since 1988 whenever there has been a Council election, Universal Publishers (a special event advertising & publishing company) has invited those candidates running for office to participate in a mutual roast for Charity. Unlike other candidate forums, in this “Funny Forum”, the audience actually gets to vote immediately afterward on which candidate they think is funniest. Door proceeds are then issued to the funniest candidate’s designated charitable organization.
WHEN: Sunday: April 27, 3:00 p.m.
WHERE: The VELVEETA ROOM, 521 EAST 6TH ST.
OTHER: CRAZY CARL HICKERSON – Former perennial candidate for Mayor, City Council and Texas Governor (write-in Candidate in 1990) will emcee. HERMAN RUX –will augment the entertainment. His performance will be accompanied by The Catfish Defense Force. Complimentary hors d’voeures and a cash bar will be available for attendees’ appetites.
This and all previous FUNNY FORUMS have been or will have been videotaped and edited for broadcast on public access television. Our goal is to expand the event’s potential benefit to include the television viewers with Internet and telephone interaction.
