Almost Obscene October 23, 2008

"It's a piece born from outrage," says Joe Raiola of 'Almost Obscene,' his critically acclaimed comic tour-de-force which he's been performing around the country since it opened to glowing reviews at the NY International Fringe Festival in 2002. With insight and humor, the show challenges our most widely held cultural beliefs and satirically reflects on our continuing devolution toward an Orwellian society. A powerful evening of theater, combining elements of top notch stand-up and edgy performance art, 'Almost Obscene' explores the chilling impact of 9-11 on free speech and American life.
