EVENINGS OF HUMOR, MUSIC & WISDOM

HOSTED BY JOE RAIOLA

Joe Raiola returns to the Fringe with a brand new series of “evenings.” Each will feature a musician, a humorist and a wisdom guest (author, spiritual teacher or expert in a particular field, a “wise-guy”). A favorite with Fringe audiences for his critically acclaimed one-man show, Almost Obscene, Joe will serve as host of three different entertaining and provocative evenings of performances, interviews, and lively roundtable discussions with the audience. Joe has lined up an extraordinary array of some of the best talents and minds in the Hudson Valley.
