By: Gabrielle Sierra Jul. 07, 2010
Love, Humiliation & Karaoke, Enzo Lombard's solo show that transforms the ups and downs of his life into an entertaining evening of live theatre, will have a special return engagement at the 2010 Midtown InterNational Theatre Festival, directed by West coast comedy star W. Kamau Bell (whose own solo show "Ending Racism in About an Hour" just had an extended run at NYC's SOLONova Festival, was named 2010 Best Comedian in San Francisco by 7x7 as well as 2008 Comedian of the Year by SFWeekly). Lombard has also recently been cast in a recurring role on the new Showtime Series "Cocktails" which begins shooting this summer in San Francisco.
Love, Humiliation & Karaoke was nominated for 2 Theatrefest Artist Awards in last year's festival, Outstanding Solo Production and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Musical Production. Lombard has been dubbed the "Sedaris of San Francisco" by fans, and the show has been called "Fresh..." by the New York Times, "A smart & witty, no-frills autobiographical show" by the SF Bay Guardian and "Don't miss!" by the San Francisco Chronicle.Without a single costume change, in Love, Humiliation & Karaoke Enzo Lombard embodies ten different characters in seven fast-paced vignettes, each set in a different city. From playing himself, to his mother, to a Filipino transvestite karaoke competitor, he takes the audience on an emotional, unpredictable, and often humorous journey that provides a sincere, neurotic, and believable look at the things we do to sabotage the love we yearn for.Love, Humiliation & Karaoke runs from July 29th to August 1st at the Dorothy Strelsin Theatre in the Abingdon Theatre Arts Complex at 312 West 36th Street (between 8th and 9th). The performance schedule is: Thursday, July 29th at 6pm, Friday, July 30th at 8pm, and Sunday, August 1st at 2pm.Videos
