 BIDEN MY TIME by Carol Kaufman Segal

            Biden My Time is a production that was presented at the Zephyr Theatre as a special preview performance by Capitol Comedy.  This is a new troupe of exceptionally talented singers and impressionists, brought together by writer, director, producer Nicholas Zill.  Why the name Capitol Comedy?  That name might give you a hint of what to expect.

            When the play began, I found out that there are no political persons who are safe from being brought to life in a comedic way that involves dancing, singing, and just all-out very funny acts with songs that may be familiar, but with new lyrics that keep one laughing throughout. 

            Biden MyTime was presented twice at the Zephyr Theatre on October 3, once at 12 Noon and again at 2:30 PM.  Therefore, some of the roles were performed by two different cast members.  The performers included Danial Amerman (Joe Biden), (Now you are aware of how the show got its name), Shefalii Deshpande (Kamala Harris), Travis Joe Dixon (Joe Bidon, Anti-vax pitchman), Cristina Florez (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez), Bella Gil (Alexandria Ocasio-Crotez), Alivia Long (Kamala Harris), Joy Mamey (Mitch McConnell, Rachel Maddow), Aaron Matijasic (Bernie Sanders, Jeff Bezos), Lauren O’Brien (video interviewee Loreen Loomis), Sarah Oliver (Mitch McConnell, and Josh Odsess-Rubin (Bernie Sanders, Jeff Bezos, Republican speech consultant).

            Biden My Time was written and produced by Nicholas Zill, directed by Caitlin Hart, music director and pianist was Brenda Varda.  I would suspect you will be hearing about and having the chance to see more of Capital Comedy in the future.  When the time comes, you won't want to miss them.

  1. It's a reactionary, borderline racist "comedy" that is moneyed white privilege gone haywire.
