From HBO's Def Poetry & Comedy Central's Chappelle's Show, Brian Dykstra "can make you think as hard as you laugh!" (Village Voice)

Critically acclaimed playwright/ actor/ poet/ comedian Brian Dykstra has been seen on stage and screen throughout the U.S. and U.K. His play, Clean Alternatives, won the coveted Fringe First Award at the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and now he's out with his latest solo, unleashing his uniquely hilarious poetic rage on the state of this glorious union.

Brian's last solo show received an extended Off-Broadway run and was hailed by critics, but did land him on several watch-lists including the NRA and Rush Limbaugh. The conservative talk show host put the word out against Dykstra as an "enemy" - of course there was no indication that Limbaugh or any of his self-styled "dittoheads" had seen his show.
