Who better to kick off the “Hassle Year Ender” season than the delightfully odd and entertaining ANGELA SAWYER, the Boston comedy/ music underground’s Dark Queen. Remember she ran Weirdo Records? Remember she runs the Midway or the Highway night and the Shaves events? Remember she plays in Duck That, Negative One, Grizzler, Bad Telephone + more, and does stand up? Ringing a fucking bell????!!!!!!
So, here’s all the places I performed in 2016. It doesn’t include unbooked open mic events (which would triple the list). But it does include a few shows that got cancelled, or when I was sick. Big, small, very small, these were the shows I wanted people to come to this year. If you didn’t, why not come to one next year?
