How do you measure what's inappropriate If an ounce of prevention has that much power, do you truly change your behavior to fit someone else's occasion? Come inside and find out.

Performance artist James Jackson, Jr. is back at the newly relocated, and STUNNING Duane Park at 308 Bowery between Bleecker & Houston Streets (home of the former Bowery Poetry Club) to ask these questions and more in a new night of laughter and song.

Admission is FREE!!! RSVP for a table at (212) 732-5555 or via email at duanepark@earthlink.net. Bar seating is also available. Tuesday, 4/30 @ 8PM

James Jackson, Jr. was undergraduately reared by lesbians in the New England Berkshires after artistically growing up in Boston under the soul-food tutelage of a deep southern family. The shoes; Birkenstocks. The music; Indigo, Simone, Franklin & Difranconian. The food; fattening. The relationships; many, lost, and strong.

After being depostited in New York City over a decade ago, the real work began. Dance belts, regional stage yelts, demanding Brits, and a rather unfortunate stop in Branson, Missouri lead to his discovery of artistic truth on prestigious stages like Radio City Music Hall as well as Carnegie Hall. His highly emotional, devastatingly funny cabaret act has been seen at Joe's Pub, 54 Below, Duane Park, DROM, The A.R.T.'s Club Oberon, and Los Angeles' Lyric Theatre. James' razor-sharp wit, unique sense of humor, talent, and on & off stage persona have become an artistic force to be reckoned with as well as a voice people want to hear as he changes the face of the concert stage.
