So I Like Superman: A One-Nerd Show

[Michael Hartney]

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 my mother'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.

Hey!

So I Like Superman: A One-Nerd show starts its run at UCB on Wednesday, July 28th at 8pm! And, better yet, it's paired with the incredible Leslie Meisel's one-woman show, Love Can Suck A Dick (and so can I)! Fun for the whole family, folks.

I know it's still more than a month away, but I'm psyched now! And you should be too!
