After a sold-out show in February, and now with a whole new section devoted to the Pokeman Go craze, comes Bill Dyszel's The Internet Ate My Brain. Starring and written by Bill Dyszel, author of "Microsoft Outlook for Dummies" and more than 20 books in the popular Dummies book series, this one-man "
Forbidden Broadway of the Internet," skewers topics as varied as our obsession with online shopping, addiction to selfies, online romance, and more.
The Internet Ate My Brain will be performed for one night only on Saturday, July 23, 8:00 pm at the Skokie Theatre, 7924 Lincoln Ave, Skokie. Tickets are $20 and are available by calling 847-677-7761 or online at
SkokieTheatre.org. The show received critical acclaim in New York, including being named "One of The Top 10 Shows of The Year," by
New York TheaterPizzaz and BroadwayWorld.com & MAC Award nominations for Best Comedy Show of the Year.
An innovative evening of hilarious topical songs lampooning how crazy we've all become because about gadgets and gizmos. Combining live music, multimedia, and audience activities, "The Internet Ate My Brain" gives audiences an experience that nothing on the internet can match.
This edition of the show will poke fun at a variety of online topics, including Pokemon Go, the mobile game craze currently sweeping the world. Millions of players have become so enthralled with Pokemon Go that they spend days roaming streets, parks, highways, and even some dangerous environs in order to catch virtual monsters, win points, and boast of their mastery.
"In barely a dozen days," Dyszel says, "Pokemon Go has become the most viral app in the history of mobile phones." Dyszel sees comic gold in the Pokemon Go craze. "What could be funnier than seeing millions of adults scurrying about in public, obsessed by a game for 10-year-olds? As for me, I'm holding out for virtual hula-hoops."
Performing with the New York City Opera for 14 plus year. Bill Dyszel has authored 21 books about technology, including Microsoft Outlook for Dummies and also contributes regularly to PC Magazine. He has also found time to produce over 60 short films, many of which have been screened at the 48-Hour Film Project, an international film-making competition.
