This Friday, leave the kids at home, let the sitter know you are going to be late and then head on over to Peoples Improv Theater to experience Lard Dog & The Band of Shy more unbridled than you imagined possible as they hold nothing back with a late-night/adults only performance of "Life's A Real Dream" at max capacity.

Lard Dog & The Band of Shy burst onto the New York entertainment scene 2 years ago with their all ages off-Broadway show "Life's A Real Dream" and have just returned to Peoples Improv Theater for 7 show run that includes both a "Grow-Ups Only" show (this Friday 5/19) and a special autism friendly show (Saturday 6/10). With their quirky lyrics and infectious tunes the band has drawn comparisons to Devo, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Pee Wee Herman, and the B52's and has been called "One of the best things to do in New York".

The group has quite a bit going on with their new Song of the Month Project, the spring run of shows at NYC's Peoples Improv Theater and summer dates at Wolftrap, Lollapalooza and more. Also please note the introduction of Sharaé Moultrie in the guest-star role as Honey Babe in the upcoming performances. More at www.LifesARealDream.com

Lard Dog & The Band of Shy burst onto the New York entertainment scene in 2015 with an off-Broadway theatre run called, "Life's A Real Dream". With their quirky lyrics and infectious tunes the band has drawn comparisons to Devo, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Pee Wee Herman, and the B52's. Lard Dog has longstanding roots in New York, performing everywhere from CBGB's Gallery and Fez Under Time Café to Joe's Pub and Symphony Space. In 2017 the band landed the #1 chart-topping song on Sirius XM Kids Place live with their single, "I Like." Life's A Real Dream is an all-ages musical extravaganza that promotes positive messages of creativity, acceptance, and frivolity - with massive amounts of absurdism thrown in.

Lard Dog and his 6-piece Band of Shy invite you to their unique audio-visual universe, complete with catchy songs, multi-media graphics, and interactive props - including a pretzel toss. Come play along and slurp the noodle of life - for Life's A Real Dream!Three frequently asked questions about this act: 1) Who is Lard Dog? He's the alter ego (who hails from Planet Belopio) of multi-media artist Steven Erdman (who hails from New York City and upstate New York). 2) What's "LARD" stand for? It's an acronym for Life's A Real Dream. 3) What's "DOG" have to do with it? Absolutely nothing!
