Joe Iconis

Show Description

Rabble-rousing writer Joe Iconis returns to Joe's Pub, bringing with him his beloved family of musical theater punks.  THE JOE ICONIS ROCK AND ROLL JAMBOREE is a laid-back, fired-up evening of Iconis tunes, featuring new jams, old faithfuls, and glimpses into the future.  Songs of hate and hope, suburbia and pornography, cougars and jailbait, dead people and livin' things, and more sing-alongs than you can shake a glass of whiskey at.  Some special guests will join Joe for this, the first leg of his legendary "Mule Mutation" Tour 2009.  So come on down to the Jamboree- it's loud, soft, sweet, nasty, and above all else, bloody as hell.  Debut album out later this year.

Joe Iconis is the recipient of the Ed Kleban Award, a Jonathan Larson Award, and a 1992 Stratford Elementary School Excellence In Music Certificate.  Joe is the author of THE BLACK SUITS (SPF at the Public), ReWRITE (Urban Stages), THE PLANT THAT ATE DIRTY SOCKS (Theaterworks USA), and THINGS TO RUIN (The Zipper, Second Stage Theater.)  Upcoming: THE UNTITLED ROCK AND ROLL SPAGHETTI WESTERN SHOW (for Ars Nova) and a musical about a guy named Hunter.  Joe is currently on the hunt for theaters that will produce his musicals, a red tuxedo, and a girlfriend who likes to cuddle.
