UPC Presents Radio Happy Hour With Eugene Mirman and Matt Pond PA
The University Program Council (UPC) presents Radio Happy Hour with comedian Eugene Mirman from "Flight of the Conchords" and the band Matt Pond PA on Thursday, April 22, 2010 at 8 p.m. at the Rococo Theatre, 128 N. 13th Street. Tickets for this event are $5 for UNL Students with a valid NCard and can be purchased online at the Rococo Theatre website. Faculty, staff and general public tickets will be $25 and are available starting April 15 at the same Web site.
Radio Happy Hour is a live variety show featuring an old-time radio comedy/drama and guest stars from the worlds of film, music, and letters. Hosted by Sam Osterhout, the show engages its guests in a conversation that careens between interviews, performances, and trivia. At the center of it all is a short, old time radio comedy in which the guest stars as him or herself or, in some cases, as Nancy Drew. Audiences will see all of this--the interviews, the corny jokes, the guest performances, and the behind-the-scenes making of a radio drama--live every month, and podcasted online as well.
