The Partly Dave Show FAQ

WHAT sort of thing is it?
A cabaret variety show mixing live music & spoken word performances, hosted by Dave Awl.
Who is this Dave Awl character, anyway?

Is there a CO-HOST?
Why, yes! Dave would be lost in space without the sensational Christopher Piatt (a.k.a. the First Mate and Science Officer of The Partly Dave Show), who is Dave's primary co-conspirator. And joining Dave and Christopher as of 2007 is our newly minted co-co-host, Diana Slickman!

WHEN does it occur?
The show is currently being scheduled on a sporadic basis ... watch this space and the Dave Awl News mailing list for show announcements.

WHERE can it be found, in a geographical sense?
The show has previously been performed at The No Exit Café in Rogers Park, and at The Neo-Futurarium in Andersonville. It may be visiting some new locations in the future ... stay tuned.

HOW MUCH is it?
The suggested donation varies depending on the event, but is usually less than a movie with popcorn and generally accompanied by our "or pay what you can" clause.
(That means you don't have to stay home because you're broke again, girlfriend.)

What other FUN FACTS can you share?

• The Partly Dave Show is always smoke-free!
  
• The Partly Dave Show is always "Pay what you can!"
  
• The Partly Dave show is never forced to land on water!
  
• The Partly Dave show is rarely attacked by flying weasels!

A Whole-Hearted Thank You
from The Partly Dave Show!

A big thanks to all who attended the "Party Mix Edition" podcast benefit at The Neo-Futurarium on May 2, 2007!

It was really a charmed evening, and we had such a lovely audience we wanted to take them home with us. That's right. We wanted to take them home.

Every buck you donate will go towards making the podcast a reality, by helping us cover equipment, bandwidth, and other expenses. Gosh, you're a swell egg.

Meanwhile, we're moving forward with developing the podcast. Watch this page and/or the Dave Awl News mailing list for future announcements!

This edition of the show featured a mix of favorite performers from past editions of The Partly Dave Show, and was recorded live for use in the forthcoming podcast version of the show, which is currently in development.

The show was also a fundraiser for the podcast, with all performers donating their performances to help raise money torward equipment, bandwidth, and other start-up expenses.

By turning out for this special benefit edition of the show, our loyal fans got to be part of our first-ever studio audience, and helped to make the podcast a reality. Which completely rocks.
