COMEDY WRITER Andrew Nicholls performs + signs "AS MAN IS TO GOD."

Andrew Nicholls, il miglior fabbro of the precisely calibrated gag, lets loose with a rollicking tale in verse as astonishing in its foolhardiness as the film shoot it chronicles. Reading As Man Is To God is like watching a master jeweler carve Mount Rushmore. We stare wide-eyed as the maniacal miniaturist brings off his magnum opus, one deft, hilarious touch at a time. The result is every bit as thrilling and endlessly revisitable as Herzog’s Fitzcarraldo, a rousing tribute to the folly and genius of our species.

Info: Slow Lightning Lit is delighted to present, former punk rocker and veteran comedy writer, playwright and poet ANDREW NICHOLLS in his first one-man SERIOUSLY FUNNY show of the blights encountered during the Amazonian jungle filmmaking of Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo. Some say Nicholls' book of hysterical rhyme in four languages and perfect dactylic tetrameter is destined to become as much a cult classic as its forerunners, Herzog's "Fitzcarraldo" and Les Blank's "Burden of Dreams." To all poets, comedy writers, filmmakers, historians and opera lovers, for the love of God and as man IS to God, don't miss this show.
