So I Like Superman... And So I Heard You're Dying Join At UCB Tonight

Michael Hartney's one man show So I Like Superman: A One-Nerd Show and Chris Kelly's (The Onion News Network) show Oh My God, I Heard You're Dying are paired together tonight at 8:00 PM at the UCB Theatre NY(307 W. 26th Street, NY, NY 10001). Tickets are $5 and are available at the door.

So I Like Superman: In 1938, at the height of the great depression, the world was introduced to the greatest hero of all time. In 1982, at the height of Mary Hartney's post-partum depression, that character was introduced to the biggest, gayest nerd of all time. In So I Like Superman, writer/performer/comic book nerd Michael Hartney tells the secret origin of his lifelong obsession with the Man of Steel, oddly mirroring the plot of Superman: The Movie. You will believe a nerd can believe a man can fly. Written and performed by Michel Hartney and Directed by Chris Kelly(Onion News Network)
Oh My God, I Heard You're Dying: Come watch as seven family members, friends, coworkers and a neighbor of seven weeks accidentally ruin their final goodbyes. Oh, and if Aunt Debra can figure out the Skype, she would like to say something too, featuring Lennon Parham of the CBS show Accidentally on Purpose, and D'Arcy Carden of the Animal Planet show Pet-o-Rama. Written and Directed by Chris Kelly.
