Writer/performer Paul Stroili’s Straight Up with a Twist has been invited to open and close the 2008 Los Angeles Comedy Festival November 7 and 23 with an additional performance November 10. All performances are at Art/Works Theatre.
In the solo show, Stroili plays all the members of his eccentric family as they try to understand this “Renaissance Geek… a happily-married guy who can’t work power tools but can perfectly fold a fitted sheet.”
Straight Up with a Twist was nominated for a 2006 Los Angeles Ovation Award for Best Solo Show, two LA Weekly Awards and was the recipient of an OC Weekly Award. Stroili’s additional acting credits include A Christmas Twist and Of Grapes and Nuts (ACE Award-winners), Laughter on the 23rd Floor, Lovers and Keepers, Sister Bernie’s Bingo Bash, Dark Ride, and Tony ‘n Tina’s Wedding. His plays include Cheese Louise, My Dinner with Arlecchino, and The Day the Arts Stood Still.
