Three songwriters enter… and three songwriters will probably leave, but not before our faces and bellies become sore from intense laughter! Join us for an evening of silly songs, funny stories, and hilariously melodious music. Carla Ulbrich is a comical singer-songwriter who is often compared to Tom Lehrer or Weird Al. She has a love of the absurdities of ordinary life, a somewhat twisted viewpoint, and a way with words. She has performed her clever songs in 34 states and 3 countries. Carla’s 9 CDs have won her numerous songwriting awards and have been featured on the BBC, Dr. Demento, Sirius XM Comedy Radio, Pandora, and NPR’s Morning Edition. Todd Chappelle is a comedy songwriter from Chadds Ford, PA who has performed at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the Delmarva Folk Festival, the New York Funny Songs Festival, the Chicago Comedy Rock Festival, and numerous local venues. Todd’s songs have been heard on Good Day Philadelphia, the Preston and Steve Show on 93.3 WMMR and The Dr. Demento Show. He appeared in the PBS specials “Dela-Where?” and “Dela-Where 2?”, and on the PBS show “Counter Culture”. Barry Rabin’s songs tackle such critical social issues as horse castration, dancing with poultry, and the star-crossed love lives of New Jersey condom factory workers. During his 40-year music career, he has performed in such venues as the Philadelphia Folk Festival (five times), Nashville’s Bluebird Café, The Comedy Store in Los Angeles, and Catch a Rising Star in New York City.———————————————-An online processing fee of $3.50 per ticket (for tickets $15.99 and under) or $5.00 per ticket (for tickets $16.00 and up) will appear on your order at check out.
