Note: Another non-juggling variety item that seemed interesting enough to include. We don't have an official listing on this, so the following is lightly edited from a private email.
Just wanted to tell you about an amazing one man show I saw starring Jay Johnson, the ventriloquist. You may remember Jay as part of the "Chuck & Bob" team on the tv series, Soap. Jay's new show is called, "The Two and Only" and is currently running at The Atlantic Theater Company through June 27th.
The show is not only hysterical but warm and touching being about Jay's relationship with his old time mentor from vaudeville. It really is a great show and deserves a wider audience. I believe tickets can be had for half price at TKTS in Times Square. The houses have only been about half full so a few of us fans of the show have been pushing it.
Here is the address:
"The Two and Only"
Atlantic Theater Company
336 West 20th Street
New York, NY 10011
(212) 645-8015

and Jay's site:

Please go see this show - and if afterwards you want to help promote it, please go to the NY Times Theater site(Off-Bway) to rate and review it. The Times have yet to review it and if enough of us give it a 5-star rating, they might consider it which would be a tremendous help. You can also see existing reviews there at www.nytimes.com (click on Theater, Off-Bway, Readers Reviews of The Two and Only). If you're not a member you can register for free.
(and yes, "Bob" is in the show!!!)
