Hey Folks here’s me performing at good ole Kieran’s Irish Pub in Minneapolis MN. It was great to be back this Feb-March.
Howdy Folks!
As 2012 wraps up I have to say it’s been a good year for Team Wonder Dave. I was published in Lethe Press Anthology Divining Divas. It’s a wonderful collection (the boyfriend is in it too).
My youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/teamwonderdave has taken off a few of the videos have been picked up by poetry blogs and gone a little bit viral.
These two videos featuring Rachel and Natasha in particular:
I’ve also managed to catch some good video of myself:
The Channel is poised to hit 10,000 views very soon. It’s about 450 views away and I’d love it if I got there before the new year. So go watch things!
Other Social media stuff: WonderDave.Tumblr.com and Strictly Show listing Tumblr are both doing just fine. The Show listings one is really more of a window ready page for the website which is still forthcoming. @TeamWonderDave on twitter is going well I have a smart phone which has made the world a more twitter friendly place.
Show news
Tourettes is Tourettes and garners it’s massive following. I know the number of people there has almost nothing to do with me BUT the show those 500+ people are seeing running smoothly does have something to do with me and I’m incredibly proud of that. It’s an honor to work with Sis, Jamie, Krystal, Heather, Asher, Syz and the whole Tourettes crew every month.
I produced a couple of TWSS Shows and a Nerdgasm this year. The talent was stellar audience attendance was less than but the people that were there enjoyed themselves and mostly I made a little cash or at the very least broke even. SASSY FAT GIRLS (which flew under the TWSS banner) was an absolute delight and may be taking on a life of it’s on courtesy of the amazing Denise Jolly. Check her out! She is a truly inspiring human being glad to have her in my life.
Also Sassy Fat Girls had the best flyer ever!
Special Thanks to Laura J. Martin for providing the excellent sketch.
Thanks so much to everyone who made 2012 a Wonderful year. I’m looking forward to 2013!
Howdy Folks!

NERDGASM is an explosion of all things Nerdy! This wild romp features
nerdy queers of all stripes. If you’ve ever fantasized about Spock and
Kirk getting busy or wondered exactly what Princess Diana did in her
free time on paradise Island or if you’re just socially awkward and
get really into your hobbies you are the audience for this show.
Poetry, Storytelling, Comedy and more 100% nerdy. Featuring
performances by Baruch Porras Hernandez, Jennifer Dronsky, Terry
Taplin, Wonder Dave (that’s me!), Liz Green, Nick Leonard and more! Click here for the facebook event page.

OUR MOTTO: “The Words You Long to Hear”
Verbatim Verboten, created in Chicago over 10 years ago by MICHAEL MARTIN, is an ever-changing revue of brief, staged transcripts. This is an evening of word-for-word performances of noted and notorious folk (also some ‘civilians’) saying things they never intended the public to hear: sureveillance tapes, wiretapped conversations, forgotten live mics, on-camera diatribes, released emails, private correspondence, 911 calls, and the like. The producers have collected almost 400 such pieces, with new material being added to the mix all the time…meaning no performance is exactly like the one before.
Verbatim Verboten has enjoyed extended successful runs in Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle, New York, and New Orleans.
We promise to perform the transcripts verbatim, but we don’t promise not to, um…re-interpret them in staging and delivery.

Howdy Folks!
NERDGASM! A variety Show filled with Nerdy Queer performers is part of the Queer Arts Festival Thursday June 28th 8pm @ The Garage 715 Bryant Street SF, $12 at the door
I’ve been introducing our line up over the last few days! Thus far we’ve met Terry Taplin, Liz Green, Baruch Porras Hernandez and Nick Leonard now let me introduce you to Stand up comedian
Jennifer Dronsky!
Winner of the first Alameda Comedy Competition, Jennifer Dronsky is an up and coming, comic with San Francisco queer charm. Originally from southern California, Jennifer Dronsky fled to San Francisco at the sweet age of seventeen to pursue her passion for fashion. After creating two lines; Fashions for the Living Skeletons (a line for anorexics) and Baby, I mean Business (business clothes for babies), Jennifer Dronsky sought a new target market for her creative mind. Despite being a newcomer, Jennifer has been drawing focus with her charismatic style and gorgeous foul mouth.
This line up of Nerdy Queers is amazing! You’re gonna love them!
