Al Franken's Stand-Up for Change

MINNEAPOLIS – Emmy-winning writer, best-selling author, and host of Air America Radio’s “The Al Franken Show,” Al Franken has moved back to Minnesota and is going back to his roots in comedy, reuniting with longtime partner Tom Davis for a special, one-time-only performance benefiting his Midwest Values PAC.

The show, scheduled to take place at Minneapolis’s State Theater on Thursday night, June 8, will also feature a special performance by legendary guitarist and Minnesota favorite Leo Kottke. This will be Kottke’s only performance in the Twin Cities this year.

In addition, Franken himself will bring his special brand of political satire and rousing rhetoric to the stage, in order to inspire progressive candidates and activists trying to take back America in 2006. Proceeds from the event will benefit Midwest Values PAC, an organization founded by Franken in 2005.

Midwest Values PAC (on-line at http://www.midwestvaluesPAC.org) provides funding and organizational support for progressive candidates and causes, as well as an on-line home for Franken’s devoted fans who want to get involved to turn Minnesota, the Midwest, and the country blue in 2006.

Tickets are available at www.midwestvaluespac.org, or at the State Theater box office. Tickets are also available for special pre-show dinner (home-cooked by Al’s wife, Franni) at the Frankens’ Minneapolis home, and for a post-show reception.
