Mike Dugan Brings MEN FAKE FOREPLAY To The State Theater 1/23

Emmy Award winning writer and Tonight Show comedian, Mike Dugan, takes an unflinching look at the secret life of men in his one-man comedy Men Fake Foreplay, live at the State Theatre in Easton on Saturday, January 23rd at 8 PM.

Delivered in a style The Scotsman describes as "Woody Allen meets Jimmy Stewart", Dugan's observations reveal devastatingly accurate secrets about the male thought process that most men might be happier kept quiet. His approach is more Magellan than Benedict Arnold however, and his exploration of men's relationships with women is a surprisingly compassionate and ultimately hopeful assessment of the trials and errors encountered along the road to becoming a man in today's ‘boys will be boys' world.

Mike grew up in Ramsey, New Jersey and began performing stand up comedy at New York's famed 'Catch a Rising Star' comedy club in 1985. A move to Los Angeles quickly led to a shot on 'The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson'. Johnny raved, and that debut was followed by over seventy television appearances, including one more spot on "Johnny" before his retirement and another appearance with Jay Leno - making Mike one of only a handful of comics to have appeared on 'The Tonight Show' with both Johnny and Jay.

Long recognized by his peers for his writing talents, Dugan has written on television series, pilots, or specials for a long list of comedians, including Dennis Miller, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Tom Arnold, Rich Hall, Paul Rodriguez, Stephanie Miller, and even George Hamilton. In 1994 Dugan received an Emmy Award for Best Comedy Writing for his work on the first season of 'Dennis Miller: Live' on HBO.

Tickets are $25 and can be purchased by visiting the State Theatre Box Office, 453 Northampton Street, Easton, by calling 1-800-999-STATE, 610-252-3132 online at www.statetheatre.org. The performance is sponsored by METROMIX & WZZO Z-95.
